Yes unless we get a few 2" rain events spread out over 4-5 days at a shot, or get the remnants of a tropical depression on top of a few rainy days, we're going to stay pretty deep into it. Still hoping for some rain bands from a TS sometime in the next few weeks. Up here in Mercer County...

At this point I'm praying for the remnants of a tropical depression. It's not ideal because if it's a lot of rain in a short time, a good amount will run off, but we need something to recharge the wetlands badly. There are two active depressions in the Atlantic right now, looks like there's no...

Agree, I don't know what the heck is going on but this is at least the 4th time in the past 6 weeks that there's been a 90+% chance of rain prediction the day before the event and the chance evaporates as the day of the event progresses. Last night the prediction was that it would start raining...

Yikes! I hope that she's okay

Got it, thanks!

Dragon, I'm struggling to see keels on the scales and can't get a count on the body rows or caudal scales. I'm wondering why corn and not black rat, since black rats have weaker keels? Are you looking at the head scales?

I teach a high school toxicology course with a poisonous plants unit and the students are always horrified at the stories of what jimsonweed can do (and has done) to people. We've even found it on campus, usually it seems to show up in topsoil or a highly disturbed area. I wonder if it the seeds...

...and to think, he was probably worried that he wouldn't catch anything that day...

Speaking only for myself, I have no problem with differences of opinion, so no flak from me. I'm more stuck on the planners' logic that it'll be an effective deterrent against those who break the law. That solution leaves me with more questions than answers, the biggest one being: if they feel...

I'm beating a dead horse here, but I'm simply flabbergasted at the idea that they'll be able to enforce a permit system, but they can't enforce illegal off-road use. It's been said multiple times: the NJSPP don't have the vehicles to chase after ATV'ers and illegal ORV's, since they cut and run...

We have some scenes up here like that but they're a mix of Japanese barberry, wineberry, and Smilax. What a nightmare. BTW, if that's anywhere in the Pine Barrens it needs a burn, stat!

I have to get more sleep tonight, I read the original sentence as she caught a 20 lb fish...

Yikes, glad she's okay. Yes the procedure if it goes in far enough is to push it all the way through past the barb and then cut it with wire cutters, then pull the first half back out. Sucks but it's better than the trauma of trying to get that barb back through. Good reason to keep wire cutters...

Hi Russ, I wanted to throw my thoughts in at this point, and hopefully offer a sound solution to the illegal ORV problem, but before I do, I'm going to come clean with my biases. We all have them, we all look at our world through the lens of our experiences, and no two viewpoints are exactly...

Pieces of the last person that snooped around the table? :eek: Sorry, that was too dark. Seriously, IF that ain't pickled herring or something like that, I have to wonder if it's bait of some sort. How far away is the closest permanent body of water? I see what looks like a tiny pond behind...

Tick keys are a blessing for removing them without leaving the head or other parts behind...

Wish I could like that twice. I'd like to see an inch a week for the next few weeks to bring it back to normal, I just hope it doesn't swing the other way with a saturated August and then tropical storm remnants on top (what happened with Ida last year and also with Irene). But any help right...

Agree, I've been keeping an eye on a vernal pond where Pine Barrens treefrogs and some other interesting stuff breeds, and it was very close to dry on Thursday. I'm sure by now the sphagnum looks like a dried sponge. Sad.

Color me cynical, but I can't help wondering how the notion of introducing permits makes any bit of sense. 1) Our taxes are used to preserve and maintain the land 2) Hunters, fishermen, etc. purchase permits to hunt, fish, etc. respectively. 3) Now I'll have to purchase a permit and pay a...

Yes! My sons and I tied some clouser minnows and wooly buggers and gave it a try a few years ago. Picks are a blast on the fly rod.
