1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Ive been out of the ginseng market for about five years now, but if people are seriously paying $1000 lb green then I need to get back in it. Ive only sold mine once near that price dried and that was 07 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 299 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I sold a pound back in October and got 795 out of it. Was my first year hunting ginseng in about 5 years. Would have loved to sold it when it was green for 1,000 a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 VA has gotten so tight on their digging/selling restrictions it is going to be tough to process much around here Im afraid. That is if the buyers abide by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thundercloud 179 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Interesting thing about the show is much of it is about what can happen to you if you go someplace you don't belong. Well, I guest if you outlaw. Anybody that had never sanged, after watching this should not be to anxious to give it a try. They don't do justice to how hard it is to find in any amount. As a child my father took me to the woods and we always brought a few seeds and small bunches back for me to plant so I could learn the plant better. Never really had heart to dig what was planted, it was something me and my dad did. Even thought it is in sight of my father's house I have caught 5 people trying to dig it over time, even thou we always keep a couple of dogs. People are stupid when it comes to sang. If you're going to confront anybody in the woods you better have something to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 People are stupid no doubt. Take the guy who had a huge patch of sang he was trying to protect. First. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Second. If you were really wanting to keep people from digging and it, weed eat that area. Lot easier than trying to booby trap the place and do night patrols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercloud 179 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Sang season in WV begins in Sept , so he could do some weed eating and have his berries to. Most will not hit the woods till time but a few will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopia3 0 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 This "A" outlaw program is so fake. I will tell you though we gave our shade tree mechanic his Christmas junk food; cookies, wine cake, fudge, etc and he was overwhelmed. Told us to hold on he had something for us. Goes in house and brings out blueberry and butterscotch moonshine. West Virginia folks are really kind people!! Neighbors are always trying to give us ramps and exotic mushrooms because we give them baked goods for holidays and let them fish our pond.
