Reminds me of a story I heard about someone coming to visit a friend in Oregon. The visitor was taken out black truffle hunting in the re-prod...replanted trees, thick cover. They are shown how to scratch around in the needles to find the truffles, and the two separated a bit, talking through the trees. The native would ask how the visitor was doing, and they said “Good...I’m finding a lot.” After a while they regrouped and the visitor showed off his basket of elk turds.
Visitor would not last long without his Indian guide. smile.
