I think I know exactly where you are at.

I read your profile....

[hawghollow]

yup middle of nolwhere no neghbors fo almost a mile: ) where might i find milks around here?

[infernalis]

I find them in my yard, by log piles, meads creek, places like that.

look under things.

If you have a big yard, lay flat stuff down and leave it.

After a board has been laying on the ground a few weeks, there is almost always something underneath.
