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.

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.
I have red wigglers but they are so small I'm doing away with them for some reason bream this year don't want crickets thanks guys
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.
