    If you don't want to dig for them,find an out of the way place in your yard,lay down some old boards,or cement blocks,give them a week or so,and slowly flip them over,if you got earth worms,they will come,

    I have a spot in the woods where I dump all my grass clippings. I can always flip it over and find as many as I need.

    Lay some cardboard out and keep it damp, let it sit for about 2 weeks.

    In my neck-o-the-woods this can be very dangerous because besides all the worms there may very likely be a copperhead or a cottonmouth.

    Put bread under some leaves on the soil they will find it. I usually find mine under rotted leaves after a rain. I maintain a worm bed with about 200 worms in it newly hatched worms are white about as long as a small piece of rice and about one hair thickness round.

    The boards and cardboard stay on the ground for 2 weeks before checking. Keep them moist and a few brick to hold them down. Sprinkle a little plain cornmeal, bread, dry dog food under them.
    Where in AR are you? Take a rake and bucket into the woods, you could find some that way.
    We camped at Blanchard Springs once. I was watching the campfire, I could see little lights/reflections about the taller weed/grass edge of the site. I did some raking and the night crawlers started popping out. I collected a good bit in 30 minutes.
