    Take note if you fish

    I grew up eating just about anything we caught from the oceans and bays. You mention eel which was always a show when it was cooked. We used to crowd around the stove as kids to watch the eel sections wiggle in the pan when they were cooked.

    Cougars, yet again...

    There are plenty of cougars in NJ already. They usually can be found stalking their prey on the boardwalks on just about any shore town:D

    PB National Park?

    I just went back over the thread. I'm not sure who said hunting would be illegal.

    PB National Park?

    I agree. It's too populated to introduce a National Park in Nj and there are plenty of 501c(3)'s associated with Natoinal Parks. I was just pointing out that PPA's role would have to change and nobody likes change, at least if it's not on their own terms.

    PB National Park?

    Actually even the PPA agreed it was not a good idea, but that could be because if it actually happened they all would be out of a job:worms:

    Shore Birds and Blueberrys.

    Maybe it's it's because it's illegal to feed them down the shore now:D

    Garden 2016 Underway

    I'm not sure they like the shade since I planted them in the sunniest area in my yard (50% or so). Keep in mind Strawberries come up year round. I started with an elevated box about 4'x8' we planted 2 plants years ago. Every spring I relocate the ones that popped up outside of the planter. If...

    Garden 2016 Underway

    Oh boy!! The great sauce/gravy debate. As most Americans I'm pretty much a mutt but I do have a lot of Italian. My grand father was Italian and grew up in Millville until he moved to Hammonton. He nearly had a melt down the first time I heard some one refer to sauce as gravy. To this day I...

    Garden 2016 Underway

    That's great!! I love the fact that you're teaching your kids to cook as well. My property has to much shade to achieve any decent crops. Strawberries seem to be taking over though. What we lack in what we can grow ourselves we buy from our local farms. Caning tomatoes and freezing corn is a...

    Possible Coyote Attack

    I love some of the things they tell you not to do. Besides not feeding the coyotes this is my favorite "Note where and when you have an encounter with a coyote. Coyotes often follow routines. Avoid this area in the future if the encounter was negative."

    Bog Iron Ore Beds

    Yea. I'm not losing any sleep over it. I know that any map that is not done by a surveyor is very inaccurate but to me the fun is in the interpretation. Surveyor maps usually lack any personal feeling but get the job done. Maps like this one puts more on specific locations. Kind of like an old...

    Bog Iron Ore Beds

    Thanks I figured that was the case. The map appears to show the Mirey flowing into the Atsion which added to my confusion.

    I also find it interesting that the Nescochague is also called the Forge Stream. Was Batstos forge on the Nescochague? Also the pond on Mirey Run seems to be between that and the Sleeper. I can't think of where that would be unless we may be mixing up the names.
