Last week I spent four days up here in the mountains trying to figure out a way to hunt an indomitable laurel thicket near a heavily hunted piece of public land. I kept finding trails going into and out of the thicket, and many of these trails had rub lines from years past. I physically cannot plow my way through, but somehow the game has figured out to use it. I was bent on finding a way to hunt the trails or leads coming down out of the thicket. The fourth day I went in from a different direction to try an approach, and stepped over a big fallen log. Being mindful, I was looking for ol' Tommy Timber Rattler on the other side of the log as I stepped over. As soon as I looked down, I saw a trumpet next to my boot. I never, ever find these, so it was a delightful fall surprise! I only took what I could hold in my ball cap. I hiked those back to the road, and picked them up on the way out. I finished the day scouting and located another buck and bear to hunt. All in all it was a successful day all around!
How would you guys suggest I cook them? Have any favorite Black trumpet recipes?
Found this not far from the mushrooms
