11 arrest 190 pounds estimated 180,000.00. Dug before season. After a year long investigation. It also reports it was southern WV and also found was stolen guns,drugs and 30,000 in cash seized aswell.

They need to catch every last person that digs out of season. I do wish they would stop putting the drugs and guns in with the ginseng arrest. Makes seng diggers look bad.

they are messing a good sport up. Hard to think every body is dishonest. The cartel to arrest ginseng dealers and diggers is going to far. One of these days, somebody is going to sue their but off. I would clap if they did. Like I said, I have no problem with catching somebody digging out of season or tresspassing, but to just go willy nilly after people that have no idea about what is going on, is going to far.

Can't get enough enforcement I.M.O. Too many poachers and too many crooked dealers.
