All of this is sensationalism. Turkeys are not a threat at all, I think I've seen all 30,000 (very low estimate IMO) in the state and never once an issue. The bear has been around forever, again not a big deal. The wolf is just someone damn stray dog, nobody in the media apparently has seen a...

Took my Dad out for Father's Day and we said that same thing. If your unfamilar with the woods and especially the barrens you can get lost after about 50 feet of walking and immediately panic.

Lots of K9 dogs and search and rescue crews out by Caranza tonight. Also alot of rescue people down by Costello school, guessing someone escaped and got lost in the woods?

It was my knowledge that the sand here is not good for fracking, I hope that wasn't misinformation.

Ben, I would but I'm waay to close to my seven year pursuit to spill publicly. But just wanna say there are some people on here who I have the utmost respect for their dedication.

No I wish it was a bear, unfortunately is someone much more devastating to ecology.

I've been dealing with some long term issues regarding destruction to the ecology of the pines. I wanted to thank everyone who is helping me protect the barrens from further destruction. The people know who they are but the amount of effort and support is overwhelming, your dedication to the...

Saw a really nice blonde phase on the side of the parkway a few years back, looked like a yellow lab.

I saw more park police this weekend then I've seen in all my years going to the pines combined. I'm glad to see them and Guy I let them know about our friend from Saturday just in case in comes through the area.

Joe every once in a while a blind squirrel finds a nut, hah.

For the most part the dorsal blotches on a milk snake come closer down to the belly scales. Heads are different shapes too and the milk is less docile. The checkering can be absent on some coastals or minimal, corns are heavily checkered.

Here are some corns, Here are some coastals (they vary big time)

Yeah, I never saw a ranger in probably two years out there and now I see one every time out. I like seeing them out there, I sometimes wish that was my job...I'd be a real SOB though, hah.

Guy these were on the other side of the road, so your ok:) . Worst part is all were carrying eggs and smashed to bits. I managed to bring one dead painted turtle home and cut 3 eggs out of her and burried them in some dirt, hopefully they hatch so all isn't lost. Like I said turtles are a...

Corns and milks appear similar, not sure how to describe the differences. Corns are more red and yellow, different looking dorsal blotches too. You finding a milksnake just out and about is extremely rare, most people find them under cover.

Yeah I thought a whippoorwill too. Guy as we discussed today it got stinking cold last night in the pines. After leaving you today Guy I drove back up towards friendship and appeared the Boys Scouts parents are very good at drilling every painted turtle on roads, no dead snakes though;)

Tom just saw your PM, I should check these more often. You found yourself a coastal plains milksnake, a rare occurence above ground. I've seen dozens of this species but never once above the surface(not under cover) alive.

I know where the nest is and I don't think it is accessible by trail, at least not close. Its on the east side too.

Jeff, as long as you aren't handling the snakes often it won't be a problem, black rats are quite as sensitive as say a rattlesnake to human prescence.
