There's no doubt you will occasionally leave mouth parts in your skin when you pull them out with tweezers. But the "festering" you are talking about is not much different than the infection you get from a splinter left in too long. That's whole different ailment than Lyme Disease and I'll risk...

I wouldn't put any substance on an embedded tick to get it to release. It may work at getting the tick to back out, but the tick isn't your problem, it's what's in its stomach that could harm you. And anything that might cause it to regurgitate its stomach contents into your blood stream is a...

The measurement is referred to as "dbh" or "diameter at breast height". In the US 4 1/2 feet was usually the figure specified although a close metric measurement was used overseas.

You blame the government. I blame the government. But for the person who moved or opened a business there, who I was referring to, to blame the government? Nope, can't go that far. It's like complaining about the noisy aircraft taking off from the airport you just moved next to.

Things have been rockin' and rollin' in Waretown!

I do find it somewhat refreshing to see acknowledgment that the destruction of and development on former salt marshes was a bad idea. Creation of new marsh, if successful (a big "if"), will improve habitat in and around the estuary as well as help mitigate storm effects. The article also...

Thank you! Should prove to be a valuable resource for lots of folks.

Severe winter conditions have always taken a certain toll on quail and other wildlife, varying with severity. It's just another normally expected factor, like predation. Adequate habitat is the key foundation. With it, the other factors are buffered. Without it, populations decline or are more...

Reminds me of a statement I read many years ago regarding firearms of the 19th century. Something along the lines of the claim of the Winchester being the gun that won the West being BS. It was the Hawken, and similar arms carried by the trappers/mountain men, decades earlier.

My Bulgarian father had a similar proverb, but I seem to remember it involving insufficient alcohol rather than poor clothing. :)

I often walk the golf course near my house during the wee hours of the night during or after a snowstorm. Several times I've crossed a fresh trail of fox tracks and slow to a snail's pace as I follow it. I've spotted the culprit on several occasions and we end up starring each other down until...

Thanks for the information S-M. It seems like this was a case similar to Pasadena/Brooskbrae, with two closely-located sites being confused with each another (with a little help from Beck ;))

I like it. Reminds me of the early version of NJ Outdoors, before it became a tourist magazine, then vanished altogether. They listed all the hunting and fishing law violators.

OK, I had to resuscitate this thread one more time, since I'm still a bit hazy on the Walker mansion. The ruins at the southern terminus of Walker Forge Road (not the structure still standing on the opposite side of Rt. 50, currently being converted into a veterans museum) which have been...

Tallest tree in North America? At 115 feet? Hmmmm.

'Tis a fine line between lost and exploring .

What's GPS? ;)

I'd answer your concerns the same way I do those fearing hunters being active in the same woods. Statistically, you have far, far, FAR greater chances of being in harms way while driving our roads to your destination. It just seems we become dulled to the thoughts of the more common dangers...

I've always been of the opinion that few of these specimens are the actual biggest. Just the biggest that someone found, measured and reported. ;) I remember when two of my former professors, John Kuser and Dick West, dominated the list of reporters of the specimens, and they were concentrated...

JJ has always been one of my favorite movies. Seeing it as a teen is the reason every deer since then has been taken with a Hawken replica. I'm also looking forward to this new film.
