This has always been my theory as well. When one considers that the date most often given for the birth was a mere generation after the Salem witch hunts, and superstition was still very common, any child born with a mental or physical disability could have been susceptible to accusations of...

Some nice decoy wood there just wasting away!:)

I've spoken to a few older men who used to trap them in our area but my impression was that this was a declining activity rather than an increasing one. I don't know this for a fact, but if that is indeed the case, I see no benefit from harrassing the participants in one more dying tradition...

Something is in season at any given time pretty much through the whole fall and winter, but the only time and place I would have even the slightest concern is during the week-long firearm deer season and the few pheasant and quail fields in WMAs that are heavily stocked. But if there was a real...

I keep trying to fold up my digital maps when done with them.

I agree that this will do little to prevent the inevitable. The party has been over for AC's monopoly on gambling in this part of the country for a while now and nothing else they try to do there will draw the numbers that gambling once did. I rarely visit Atlantic City, but do spend quite a bit...

"Back home we got a taxidermy man. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!"

Is it on one of the dikes crossing the cranberry bogs on the North Br. Mt. Misery Brook?

Guy, it's those snooty Mac people you are associating with on that other forum that are the problem. Just stick with us Pineys! :)

Cute pooch! Gotta love a retriever. They never complain about the weather either! :)

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I do not agree with the editorial author regarding there being no credible threats to hunting or fishing. Hunting has long been under attack from individuals and groups with either animal rights or gun control agendas, even if largely unsuccessful to date. In...

Funny you noted that. My wife has stated several times that if she had it to do over again she'd go into forensics rather than nursing. Anything about forensics or real-life murders on tv has her glued to the set. I get a little worried sometimes. :rolleyes:

I have never been a fan of, or have participated in, put-and-take hunting. I'd love to see them release more birds AFTER the season, giving the ones that do survive nine months or so to become something resembling wild, if not native, birds.

If I was visiting the site for the first time I might be able to see the history through the grafitti but It's been almost thirty years since my first visit and I find it painful to view now.

From my encounters, it seems that foraging for wild mushrooms is more common among those raised in the "old country". A few I have met have indicated they have not been in this country a long time and when asked about how they honed their I.D. skills, they replied they learned back home. That...

Is it the foundation on the west side of the start of Bulltown Road?

I’ve been home on a short medical leave, so I’ve had time to gather some scrap cedar and hammer together a few soapboxes to stand on. I am no climate scientist and do not pretend my environmental experience makes me an expert on the subject. But during over forty years of outdoor recreation and...

Ben, the blockhouse destroyed in Toms River, along with most of the buildings in the then-small village, was charged with storing and protecting salt made elsewhere. Salt works were typically built on marhsland very close to inlets, such as the Cranberry Inlet across the bay from the...

While Applegate's ownership of the tract was early for steam powered technology, I guess it isn't out of the question. I'll leave that possibility to those better versed on that subject. A water-powered mill isn't out of the question either. The gristmill in Tuckerton, near my home and now a...

I used to work there, and had the same questions you have. I could find no remains of the Applegate Mill at the time . When the Cattus family owned the property much of it was cleared, which could have obliterated earlier historic evidence. However, the mill could have been located outside of...
