@@MossyForestFungi-ll2oq thank you for watching and your comment. Happy hunting!

@@PhilF86 wow! I missed that one!

Portland, Oregon area, in the Coast Mountain Range. These are lobster mushrooms. Thanks for watching and your question.

@@crystalrobbins5219 yes! Lots of lobsters on the east side of the coast range! After a good rain, the lobsters will be out there!

@DADventurerNW come on Mother Nature! 😆

@@NS3quiet elk does taste great!

@@racheltestchannel227 Bingo! Cannon Beach Indeed!

Every time I go to Cannon Beach, I go find the herd and say hi! They like this one yard, on the right, heading up to Ecola State Park. So if you can't find them on the beach or in town, head up to Ecola. I fell in love with them back in March when we took a vacation to Cannon Beach. I also fell in love with Cannon Beach. I'd never stayed there. Just quick walk to Haystack, take a couple of pictures, and then leave. By far my favorite coastal town now!

@@crystalrobbins5219 I love that place too. Great beach, cool restaurants!

@@DADventurerNW for sure! We kept finding our way eating on 2nd Street. Lol! Cannon Beach Smokehouse was my favorite!

Good questions. I purchased my chassis from Optics Planet. Their customer service is great and they would be able to give you all of the details on if it would fit your rifle. They can also connect you to Trybe Defense for additional questions. (I'm not sponsored by either company, but a big fan of their great service)

@@swannoir7949 thank you! They are my new favorite. A very unique and deep flavor. You will enjoy them.

@@alsinakiria WOW! That’s amazing. Thats a lot of property! How great is it to hunt mushrooms on your own private property! Congrats!

@@DADventurerNW I do have to worry about sustainability but I don't have to worry about other people at all which is nice. I know how much there is and I know how many I picked so I don't have to worry about over harvesting. I just pick enough for my friends and family and that's it.

@@alsinakiria that’s is a great attitude and sustainability plan. As long as you don’t rip up the soil or remove the trees, the mushrooms will come back every year. If you find any old lobsters that are past prime, consider spreading them in other areas around your property as new lobsters may come in those areas next year.

@@DADventurerNW I found some that I thought were fine but definitely were not when I got them home. I'll take them out with me tomorrow and spread them around.

@@alsinakiria that’s a great plan. I do that often when I’m in the forest, especially with lobsters and chicken of the woods. It works.

@@crystalrobbins5219 How was your hunt today? Any success?

@@DADventurerNW I ended up sick. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and have the day off. Gonna head up after my appointment and scurry around in the woods.

@@crystalrobbins5219 I hope you are feeling better and have great success with your hunt!

@@billysanborn7911 thanks for watching and your comments. A collaboration sounds interesting.

Thank you very much!

I've been out twice this week, in two different areas and both had fresh lobsters, and a few rainbow chanterelles. Time to get out there Don. They won't be popping up your way for a while.

@@crystalrobbins5219 more to come! Check out my latest video I just launched today. Lots of great lobsters! Time to get out there!

Thank you sir!

😜

@@crystalrobbins5219 I love that! Thank you so much for watching and your support! More to come! What’s stopping you from getting out there on your own? Now is the time to explore some new territory! 😁

@@DADventurerNW come on fall! 🍂

@@crystalrobbins5219 I couldn’t agree more! We just need a good rain to kick things off!

Lobsters like the ocean as well 😁

@@yakventures9544 mmmmmm..... double lobster soup!

@@Rialean thanks for watching and your question. Yes, there’s a guide named Michael Rischer, who guides exclusively on kayaks. I’m not sure if he still guides, but he would be the guy to reach out to in the Portland Area.

For sure! I spend as much time cleaning the gear as I do fishing! But it’s worth it!

Thanks for watching and your question. I am not, but I do know him.

Do u kayak fish? We have met ?

The orc maybe??

@@dampainter1 yes, we have met, and fished together.

@@dampainter1 yes, orc or the old tillamook bay kayak tournament that is no more.

@@brandonhamlyn1519 thanks for watching and your comment. Danielson makes another model with a top door. They are a few bucks more but totally worth it. McKay also makes a smaller “kayak” size trap that I love. Way easier to hoist onboard a kayak.

Interesting. Did you do this for the Ruger American 308 as well? I don't remember having to do that with my build, but you could be correct.

@@aaronmartinez3985 in the PNW, I start finding lobsters in late July through October in the coast range and the cascade mountains. They don’t need rain to fruit. Look for shady spots in fir and mixed fir forests.

@@DADventurerNW thank you I started mushroom hunting last year but missed the lobster mushroom season I’m going to get out there this year for them!

I use OnX Hunt. It’s an $39 per year phone app and it’s awesome. I also have a Garmin 64st GPS but rarely user it anymore because OnX is so much better.

Thank you for your comments and question. There are still some morels up there. One of my friends found some blondes a few days ago. However, morels are winding down. Kings are still popping above 4,000’ on south and east facing slopes. And, it’s beautiful and way cooler up there now! Happy hunting!

I agree, but if I cover up the evidence, then I get to choose who I share my spots with. 😁

Well, if you are finding morels, that’s a good problem to have.

Sometimes, part of a king may be bug free, like the stem or the cap. Part of a king is better than no king.

From what I've been told and from some experience, mixed fir and pine forests are the place to be for Spring Kings. If you can find one of those on the west side you might have some luck but they are certainly more common east.

In the Fall, I find them on the west side, but the spring kings, I’ve only found them on the east and south side of the cascades.

Thanks for your question. When I fish Depoe Bay, I rarely leave the bowl of the bay. There’s enough structure and plenty of fish. Either north or south are both good bets. Head to the buoy and then find your structure. Good luck.

@@Madocthevindicator that is really a personal decision and has to do with experience and comfort level. For me, I’m fine up to 4’ swells, provided the periods are at least 10 seconds. Shorter periods and it’s like a washing machine out there. I also don’t like minus tides due to the big tide swings. I hope this helps.

Yes, but not nearly as many. 4500’ for me.

@@DADventurerNW awesome! I think I'm giving up on morels for the season. 😆 Bring on fall hunting!

@@crystalrobbins5219 Spring Kings are popping all over the east side of the cascades right now, in the same habitat as morels. Don’t hang your bag up just yet!

@DADventurerNW ok ok....I won't just yet. We were keeping an eye out for them also. We were around 3k ft but couldn't find a good route higher. But I'm still learning that side of the mountain since stumbling across your channel. I had heard that kings start high and move down. At some point, there has to be a good "meeting in the middle" right? Load up on king boletes and morels! Nom nom! I live closer to the Tillamook Forest and know if very well. It's good to take adventures to the unknown also!

@@crystalrobbins5219 I’ve heard the same about Kings starting high, but in my experience they start lower and move up. 3800-4500 is about the right elevation for them now. Tillamook Forest is one of my favorites for Fall mushrooms!

I know it sounds crazy but it happens to me every time. Maybe it’s my viewing angle? And yes, “chunkies” has become a widely universal term for the big ones.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching and your comment. Yes, morels are still popping on the east side of the cascades, along with King boletes. You should be looking above 4,000’ in June and east of Government Camp. Congrats on your finds!

Thanks Don. Hopefully you can get out there soon!

Hey Bill. My old buddy! Thanks for watching. Very much like where’s Waldo! Good to hear from you.

I don’t mind you asking. Thanks for your question. I’d say 3600 would be the lowest I’d hunt now. I was between 3800-4200’. Things are drying out on the east side so look for areas that are sloped and shaded from the mid day sun. Good luck.

@@DADventurerNW Wow, thank you, how about this weekends rain, Will it help to sprout new one's or ruin the one's already up? Really appreciate your info especially when you mention other plants or tree's to look for!

@@joepodunk284 The rain always helps. It may bring more morels, but will definitely help bring more kings popping. You are welcome. Thanks for your support. Good luck.

Viagra, think happy thoughts. Lol 😆 Thanks for the good chuckle. 😊

@@littleevil8982 you are welcome. Sounded appropriate and inappropriate at the same moment.

Helllo Flower Fairy! Thanks for saying hello. It was nice to meet you in passing! How was your mushroom hunt? Thanks for your support.

You are welcome, love your videos! Learned a lots! I got some king and morels yesterday, had a great time! How about you! Looking forward your next video 😊

That's funny. Yes there were reef sharks all over the place, but they are normally not interested in snorkelers, unless you are spearfishing.

Thanks for watching and your question. I made the mushroom bag myself. I couldn't find anything like it on the internet so I decided to make a few on my own. It's not perfect but it works well for my needs. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for your comment. I went with a sling with a loop on one end, made a slip knot through the opening in the buttock, and regular attachment on the front. Worked for me.

Permits are forest specific. Mount Hood does not require a permit. Gifford Pinchot does, but it’s free and online. Check with the forest service where you want to hunt. Thanks for your comments and support.

@@DADventurerNW That's where I've been confused because I heard you need a permit in National Forests but not in State Forest? Figured I'd stop by Zigzag or Estacada and check with them either way. Thank You again!

@@joepodunk284 that’s a good idea. In the Mount Hopd National Forest, you only need a permit if you want to pick more than a gallon of mushrooms per day. Otherwise you are good, provided you aren’t picking in any off limits areas. The ranger station has mushroom maps.

For me, I bought some books, watched a ton of KZfaq videos and joined a local mushroom club.

Thanks for your comment and your support. You also have some great content!
