    Off Road Abuse of Wharton State Forest Continues

    What is your suggestion? Look at my post above and see the balance that I'm proposing. You can't shut off the roads to motor vehicle traffic unless you are telling the responsible outdoorsmen that I noted above that they can no longer use the forest. For all of the movement in this state to get...

    Off Road Abuse of Wharton State Forest Continues

    tsqurd, no resident should lose their right to our open space and it should be open for all aspects of responsible outdoorsmanship, but I don't want to see illegal activity accepted as a status quo either. 1.1 million acres should be enough for swamping, stone-hunting, botanizing, caneoing...

    Off Road Abuse of Wharton State Forest Continues

    This is the part that I don't understand-isn't the focus supposed to be on people who are illegally driving OFF the designated trails and into sensitive areas?

    Off Road Abuse of Wharton State Forest Continues

    A forum member by the name of Mordecai posted this last year on another thread: "Hey all, I implore everyone to remember that we are allies here and this is a dispute among friends. If we didn't have impassioned people like you all and the PPA with deep convictions, then we would have lost...

    Turtle's

    Kind of a weird coincidence as far as timing, but I found the shell of a dead slider today. I also found the shell of a dead slider in October 2014. Both times the shells were on land, today it was about 50 feet from the water, back in October 2014 it was about 10 feet from water. It's likely...

    Resource for Bladderwort ID?

    Thanks for the help so far. 46er, that's a great resource, thank you for sharing. According to the article posted and other resources, there are between 12 and 15 bladderwort species in NJ. I'm going to list the ones that I can confirm from Boyd's book "The Ecological Pine Barrens of New Jersey"...

    Resource for Bladderwort ID?

    Hi Folks, I was wondering if anyone knew of a resource that they could refer me to for a complete list of NJ's (not general North American) bladderworts? I'm looking to improve my ID skills for them and found myself stumped many times in the past. I wanted to refrain from buying another...

    PBX guys, I need a way into the bog

    Back in November I was checking a spring seep and ended up getting whacked in the face with catbrier. The thorn went through my eyelid and into my eye. Yeouch!

    Robins

    Yes. Although robins can switch their diets, robins are migratory, and the ones that we often see here in the winter are the Northern race of robins. They migrate down this way where they subsist on berries and the occasional worm that they glean when the ground warms. That being said, they are...

    Anyone with Knowledge of Animal Tracks?

    The photo was taken in the Sourlands, Hunterdon County. Here is a second photo, which I believe illustrates the detail that Gibby outlined in post number 58 above:

    Anyone with Knowledge of Animal Tracks?

    Anyone with Knowledge of Animal Tracks?

    The bottom picture looks to me like the end of a tail. Some grizzled fur in there too. I'm leaning toward grey fox, coyote or raccoon. Raccoon seems to consistently have the banding. Using the leaves for scale, it's not a big piece of the tail. Not 100% sure it's a tail, but if it is, that's...

    Anyone with Knowledge of Animal Tracks?

    Alright Al, I went out yesterday morning to find some squirrel tracks as per your input earlier in this thread and sure enough I found some. Here's a nice view of the front feet behind the rear with toes facing forward: 4" average sized print: Nice one showing details of rear...

    Anyone with Knowledge of Animal Tracks?

    Hey Al, In the pic that I used, I thought that I was seeing the front feet in front (left side of picture) based on toes and the back feet in the rear (right side of the picture) with the front feet being the ones that are staggered, and as you said exiting stage left. Did I interpret this...

    Anyone with Knowledge of Animal Tracks?

    Hey Al, thanks for the info. Regarding the rabbit's back feet falling in front of the front feet, in the picture below, it looked to me like the front feet are printing in the front. I've got the direction of travel from right to left (looks like the toes are printing on the left side of the...
