I had some scumbag neighbors in the next holler over down in
White Bluff, Tn. that used to sneak over and steal my Ginseng until I invited my Class III dealer friend down for a little range time. We fired full auto all afternoon and I never had any trouble after that.
I’ve known people go hunting ginseng or ‘sangin practically all my life, but I’ve never thought about land I own or that my family has owned. I wonder if it’s being harvested by somebody and we just never paid attention, figured they were out for a walk in the woods or hunters. I think I have some in the wooded area of my fenced back yard, matter of fact, I’m going to have to check, lol.
Here’s a handy link on varying laws in different states, as well as some how-to info.
