Searching for morels in a free fire zone.

[findingZzero]

Went to the dog park @ Eagle Creek yesterday. It was early and no one was there. I decided to look for morels in a place where folks shouldn't go. I've lived a long rewarding life (for the most part). Me and the canines found a hole in the fence and searched for awhile. Since I never find the elusive fungi the sound of gunfire added excitement to the chase. Besides, the lads are learning combat readiness. I found a garter snake, 2 purple Unicorns, 6 four leaf clovers, a 2lb truffle, Jimmy Hoffa's stiff remains, deep mud, but none of the chambered domed delicacy. Police do the shooting during the week. I trust their aim more than weekends. And there is that berm. And I was not real close or directly behind the berm. Btw, the 9mm vs the 45 cal is bogus. They hurt equally when the errant rounds fall from the trees and hit you on the head. I am guilty and throw myself on the mercy of the court. But at least i can cross that off my bucket list, As well as walking thru a NYC subway tunnel @ 2am.

p.s at least I was unarmed....

Just be sure of that fungi! A toadstool riddled with bullet holes could fool you.

I always thought it looked like a likely unicorn habitat back there.

Was told by Guy that one of the biggest herd of deer live behind that berm. And they are not gunshy...

Thought the thread was interesting when I misread the title to be "Searching for morals in a free fire zone."

Kewl nonetheless.

I will admit that I would have been VERY reluctant to go searching accompanied by the sound of live fire. Would've waited for the lunch/donut break.

Searching for MORALS in a free fire zone.

I don't believe in killing things, especially my fellow man and not for property. If my fellow man is trying to kill me I feel justified in responding in whatever manner works. There ya go!

They used to. The city paid an outfit from out of state to come in and wipe them out. I did see two does this morning but they aren't there like they used to be.

I do feel a bit of an obligation to warn you not to go in there again. You wouldn't be the first to be arrested in that patch of woods.

Trespassing? Suicide by police? I would risk it for a morel. It would be such a magical experience for me to find one, followed by a not so pleasant one. If yer not living on the edge you're taking up too much space. OK, never again.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

So there is no morel in this story.

It is trespassing and you could be arrested and there is a (remote) chance you could get hit by a round but more importantly, that patch of ground is an EPA super fund site. On top of all of that lead in the ground, the water is contaminated with bacteria and has been for years. The range is on a well and we warn officers every day not to drink the water from the faucets. I can't imagine a mushroom growing in there being safe to eat.

A free fire zone... are the morels loose there?

No safe water, no big deer, and no Morels (sounds like France).

There was a hen turkey walking around a few weeks ago. Several of my guys got phone pics of her on their way in to work. No gobblers though (unless they're mute).
