I see all the worm holes in my dirt in the morning but have to admit other than the sidewalks and drive I haven't picked much for worms America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

The red doesn't spook the worms as fast and I try to pick early in the season because when they are cold they are slower, still quick but slower.

If you start at 11 or 12. most will be all the way out. If not just go on to the next one. I used to try for a 1,000 but never got that many, I did hit 850 2 or 3 times when I was a LOT younger. Me too now I am down on all four wearing my hipper. I used to tape milk cartons on each leg and just move along picking them up. We sold them for 2 cents apiece in the '50's. Cut you lawn real short on pick up days.....jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free. What's supposed to be ain't always is. Hopper Hunter
