lets talk huckleberries

[idtroutfool]

saying goodbye to my huckleberry patches in north idaho was one of the more difficult things associated with my move to southern idaho. I haven't had a chance to get out yet but I will begin my search in the next couple weeks.

So my question is: What is the typical huckleberry situation in southeast idaho? When are they usually ready, how big is a good patch? (places i used to pick covered entire hillsides as far as I could see)

Are folks down here reasonable about only picking the ripe ones or do they take everything rather than bear the thought of someone else getting some? In other words how much competition is out there?
