Wild Ginseng / Re: New Jersey, no state law?

thanks for the info Brad, I actually saw that chart in my search but I mistakenly took the X in the box as no and the blank boxes as yes, lol.
You say its a federal crime to export out of the state, but can you sell inside the state or no sales at all just personal use?
The reason I was asking was I accidently walked into a huge ginseng patch the other day on a walk. I saw the show Filthy Riches season 1 last year and they had the ginseng crew on there. I was thinking about trying to find some in next years ginseng season because I walk in the woods a lot. But I decided against it because NJ is terrible with ticks. If you stay on the wide paths you are fine but walk 10 ft into the overgrown parts and you will have a couple ticks on you. So I sort of forgot about ginseng and what to look out for. But I just happened to rewatch the season again and when I went walking in the woods where I have dozens of times and I went off the main path a little bit and stumbled onto a ginseng plant that had 3 berries on it. And I was pretty happy with my find but then I started to notice berries everywhere and looked around and it was just a sea of ginseng. It is around 1/3 of a football field of ginseng plants about 8 inches apart from each other, you can't walk thru the patch without stepping on a plant. I am not sure on the age of the plants but most weren't that big, but I don't know if that is because winter just ended.
