Good episode. I wouldn't have thought ginseng poaching was a thing but not really surprising either. Very informative.
First time I was able to leave a rating and review (Spotify does not allow me to for some reason). I'll continue listening on Audible in the future.

Interesting

4 episodes in and no intention of stopping. Found my new podcast! I'm a hunter on the east coast and love hearing these stories. Episodes 52 and 53 hit home. There are no almost no box turtles left in our area of Southern NJ. 20 years ago there were literally hundreds visible throughout the year each spring. Keep at it!

Awesome stories, great Podcaster
