yepper,,,the seng eye.
i've taken several folks with me thruout the years on a seng hunt....i could see seng on a ridge that was still green...about 40 yards out{ was the berrys that helped} aND i pointed out and say,,,see the seng? they say were? i say right there!!!!..........so we walk over and i say "here"............" how did you see that from way back there" they ask.........i say................" how could you not" lol!
and yep.......layin down at night close your eyes and see that beautiful yellow seng,,,that pattern just sticks in your brain.
i've often wonderd why it's the yellow that stays in my mind instead of the green...lol.
my dad always had a saying.......hunting seng is like driving a car.......you keep drivin til you see the yellow......slowwwwwwww down,,,,,,,,,when you see the red...STOP!.

I love it. I thought i was the only nutcase that dreamed of the yellow seng when I slept. It DOES take a trained eye! Glad I have the trained eye!!! Haven't missed a day of senging since it opened. At least 4 hours a day. I LOVE IT! Problem is the seng eyes get tired!

At my age , 66, it ain't the eyes that start to fail. I can only do about 4-5 hrs in the woods now. My poor old back makes my legs feel like lead. I have arthur in my back and I am afraid it is just a matter of a very few short years, that my days in the woods will be comming to a close. Not a pleasant thought , but, no use lieing to myself. At least your out there,keeping on keeping on.A lot of guys much younger than you are sitting at home.This stuff gets in your blood and come heck or high water a guy keeps plugging along.

Don, IMPRESSIVE!! Keep it up. I have learned alot on the wildcrafting forum from everyone and STILL learning. It is exciting to know that there is other GEEKS like myself that run the woods at all seasons with a bow, trap or something to dig with. AND at 66 good for you Don. If any of you guys get up to Northeast Iowa and wanna run around the woods let me know!
