Please don't let you cats outside, they take a heavy toll on wild critters. I had cats as a kid and they always stayed inside. My dad use to put anti freeze outside for the feral cats, he just got sick and tired of them killing chipmunks, using his antique convertibles as scratching posts and...

Hah, didn't think of that Al. If it were true it would be Teegate versus the Stone Stealing Squatch.

In regards to the reports on BFRO its been awhile since I viewed the NJ reports. I do remember that the ones I read seemed far fetched with very little supporting evidence. I believe one I read had the animal throwing rocks at people, there are no rocks in the barrens. I've watched just about...

K9, you can see claw marks.

It can be fun, but it is tough work. Trying to cross through the pygmy plains with a big antenna, with a long wire attached to your waist can get frustrating. Also those units only get a beep from about .25 miles at best, these species can move at one mile clips, so you gotta be out there...

I think with Bigfoot in the pines you have to look into whether or not a species like that could survive in the pines, let's think realistically. In reality, it would have to be more than one and more like a population, potentially connected to other populations, so let's say 20-30 bigfoots...

Gibby, I think your seeing two separate studies. The guys your seeing in the Bombing Range are the Drexel crew (all good folks). I do drive a blue cherokee and tracked on the outskirts of the range, but often had my car parked around that area with a big antenna in my car or on me. That would...

My issue with the video has always been the animals behavior. Certain animal behavior is consistent among all species and they just don't look back like that. They stop and stare, then bolt, or bolt, or stare and charge. An animal may behave like that if it is familiar with being around...

Pan its volunteer, real job is much less fun, hah, but the pay is much better.

On my drive up to work I cross over the crosswicks creek and some other streams/rivers I'm seeing about 90% less waterfowl versus most falls and winters. I would suspect its the temps.

Pine barrens is an amazing place when poor health news is received. I've been there a couple times (receiving end of bad doctors visits) and the pine barrens has always cleared my mind. Hope all is well.

Believe hunting is allowed by permission.

God I really hate the sound of this. I love the pine barrens, especially Wharton because of the solitude. The last thing we need is for the area to be marketed as an attraction.....awful.

Thought the same thing Guy, king of depressing. Some of these areas had farms up until fairly recently though 60's, 70's.

Opening up is a good thing. As I mentioned in the pine beetle thread the pines are too dense in spots. I like when they uproot stumps and leave the dying trees or cut trees there. These things provide a ton of value to the rare pinelands species.

Did they leave the trees that were cut on the ground of remove them? Does this look something like Haines and Haines cuttings down on stevenson or old tuckerton? I'm all for selective cutting but I think its best if they cut trees or some are left on the ground to provide hiding areas.

Yeah one of my favorite areas is down by the scar where the fire was, just a cool looking tract. The people who talk against fires just don't have a clue. They live in a subdivision somewhere and have spent five minutes in the outdoors but have some huge opinion on what is good for the pines.

Out of curiousity is the concern only that pine trees are going to be dying and it may look unsightly? In my opinion many of the pinelands forest are choked with pine trees, and for the species that I'm familar with this dense forest provides very little benefit. In contrast forest with...

Bob M, you saw a corn, no doubt. You can't confuse corns with anything else here to be honest, especially at 36 inches which is too big for a coastal, scarlet. When corns are young they can look like black rats but from there on out they are obvious. Al, your diagnostics are correct but the y...

Probably a black rat than. I thought I was getting deja vu, hah. If you ever do see one snap a photo of the specimen, corns are known from your area but very few and far between, they are a very secretive species.
