Morel hunting contest

Does anyone have any info on the mushroom hunting contest in Louisiana Mo on the 24th?

There's some info in this month's (April 2004) Conservationist. It's towards the back of the magazine. I'm curious as to why anyone would want to fork out a $25 entry fee to hunt on "designated" land. I'd prefer to spend the $$ on gas and hunt wherever I please without the "competition". But to each their own!!

Thats were I seen the info about the contest and was just curious what it was all about. My wife has been bugging me to get some this yaer but dont know were to go look. ODF if you need someone to help you haul them out of the woods just let me know. I can even carry a cooler.

Roscoe - Coolers are mandatory on a 'shroomin' trip. But they ain't for carrying mushrooms!! Way I see it, the closer to the ground you get, the better you can see 'em!! I ain't sayin' I always haul out a bushel, but I can say I ain't never paid $25 to hunt 'em either!!

OF, Those are the trips when the blurred vision make you think you have twice as many till you wake up the next morning and figure out you only had half that. Does that make any sense ???
