Nice lookin deer guys. Does sengin make you better hunters????

I think it does 5prong because all the whyll im senging I also notice areas of deer movement and tracking signs etc. sometimes learnng good new places for further scouting of deer herd.

I agree Billy, and shroomin makes me a better senger. Keeps the eyes sharp and occasionally find some sang while I'm shroomin and I don't forget come fall. But honestly It's hard to spot one thing when you are lookin for another. Bet i've walked by bushells of seng while lookin for mushrooms. I spotted 4 really nice seng plants while shroomin last spring and suddenly found myself lookin for sang instead of shrooms. I couldn't find another one until..... I went back in the fall and found quite a bit. Still scratchin my head over that. I don't know if I just didn't see it or if it hadn't popped out of the ground yet. Over the years I've noticed that the seng sprouts around the 5th-7th of May in my local area.Oh well, just rambling now. Good luck finding them morrels.

I think anytime in the woods will make you a better seng hunter...fish are biting here ,get some crappie and catfish.... ...crappie are starting to pick up too... ...caught a water dog the other day... ...been eating some crappie too...

Looks great guys, congrats! Chief do you catch alot of those water dogs? I have never seen one here and I have done ALOT of looking. Cool critters for sure. Did you catch it while catfishing?

caught a dozen or so this spring..they quit biting after the water warms up ...yes I was catfishing caught them on shad guts.....

What types of waters are you catching them all in? I've grown up chasing critters in quite a few states. That's one animal I have never found/caught, and like I mentioned. It's not due to lack of trying. Had some friends tell me they caught a bunch of them one year in a creek. Next day I was there with a siene and tried my best to come up with at least one. No such luck though. Did end up catching numerous fish species, turtles, newts, salamanders, etc.. Did you guys get alot of rain over that way ?

catching the dogs in a small river here at home IT might be 40 yards wide...I like seeing them in our river .they are a sentinel spieces.it takes a fairly healthy system to support these critters..... ...I'v seen them up to 30 inches long...

We have them here but that is by far the largest water dogs i have ever saw Cheif...

I've caught a few out of a local lake while catfishin, but nothing bigger than 10-12 inches. I've heard them called waterdogs and also mudd puppies.
