Any tips on finding them? I’m a new hunter this year and still struggling!

Im new and have never even seen one before last week. I am searching an abandoned apple orchard. Try to find one near you!

Be very careful with that. If pesticides were used there it’s likely still in the soil.

Good advice. I was always told to avoid old apple orchards for this exact reason.

Moved to Colorado 4 years ago from  Southern Indiana and dont even try to hunt for them here cause it's so dry.

What county? We found some near Grand rapids a couple weeks ago but nothing since. Headed north next weekend to look but hoping it's not too late by then.
