Works for me. I like slow moving food

But I'm not familiar with either of these, are they from California?

I looked for some more morels this weekend but struck out.

Yep, both are very edible and very tasty. The top one is a King Bolete, or as the italians call them, Porcini. The chicken in the woods, bottom one, can definitely have some chicken flavor tones. Similar to hen of the woods, just a little tastier, imo.

:thumbup:

Yea these are from the Sierras northwest of Yosemite. I used to be a chef, so finding these gems are pretty exciting seeing how much we used to pay for them in fine dining kitchens. I love morels, perhaps my favorite of all. We haven't had much out here in CA even on the coast this year just because it's been so dry lately. Although I've got a couple more missions before the summer heat takes over for the next few months. Fingers crossed!

Good luck on getting more.

That old boy looks like he lived a rough life! Were you able to do anything with the head or tusks?

And how do you like those GMX from Hornady? I've had very good performance from the all-copper Barnes TTSX.

ETA: Oh yeah, extra points for getting a GSO in the picture

 

[Texas_toothpick]

I don't have any personal experience, but I've seen guys like Chiral post videos that they uploaded to youtube. Someone with real experience would have to explain how that works, though.

 

[Texas_toothpick]

Its only bout 25 seconds long. Not worth a huge hassel.
