As I said I have been going back there over 32 years and have never seen a posted sign or a person waiting to throw me out. Here's another anomaly in the middle of nowhere, without access and with a zip code in the negatives. $67.00 a year for taxes. It is just south of Wescoat Bogs which can...

I started duck hunting in that area around 1985 and most of the water control structures were intact back then. I too am fascinated by old bog systems and the field engineering and earthwork that went into constructing them. Wescoat Bogs was a large operation at one time and believe it or not...

Here's a few I took near sunset in October 2010, 6 years after all of the water control structures in the bog system blew out. In 2004 Medford lost 17 dams and the impact of those same storms was very evident at Wescoat. The amount of exposed, twisted cedar stumps and trees was fascinating.

Puerto Rico is going to get slammed. Worst in 100 years for them. I went there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. It was my compromise for my wife wanting to go on an "island" vacation. I refused to go to a place where machine gun wielding para-military walk the streets outside of your...

A little over a year since I started the thread and I am chigged again! First batch this year. I kept feeling a slight itch around both ankles before dinner. I waited until after dinner to investigate more closely and lo and behold, walking red pepper around both ankles. I saturated a paper...

The technique worked Joe. You didn't find the nest or the young ! I've seen killdeer do it many times. very dramatic.

Any nearby stream crossings ? Looks like a very sturdy ATV crossing or substantial footbridge, judging from the way the timbers are laid and the size of the timbers. Looks like overkill for a tent platform. It doesn't make sense though that you would build it and then have to carry it and drop...

The author of that letter is a member of my sportsmen's club too. He's a very good guy. The deer club he is referring to in his letter is Moore Deer Club in Tabernacle.

Interesting and frustrating. I wish the State would break their silence.

Outstanding Bob, thank you. I will have to get down to the Glades this fall. Looking at aerials, it seems like a lot of improvements at the end of Turkey Point Road have been made.

My Barkovision was telling me red oak Al when I first viewed the picture yesterday. The distinct knees also tell me it could be a swamp red oak, Quercus falcata, which does get this far north. I have seen red oaks with knees so really a leaf or acorn would probably confirm. If I was able to...

I crabbed way out there in Weir Creek and Johnson's Ditch in my own boat for many years starting in 1991. Before that, when we started dating in 1977, the bride and I rented the leaky wooden boats and crabbed Hollywood Beach and Beaver Dam. They were just up the road a piece from Dividing...

The Glades is an awesome piece of salty wilderness.

Looks like PA is the home base Bob. As the oldest and largest land conservation organization serving eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey, Natural Lands has preserved more than 125,000 acres, including 44 nature preserves totaling more than 23,000 acres. Some 2.5 million people live...

"DEP contributed $1,028,000 toward the purchase from the Green Acres State Land Acquisition Program" I believe that was a major contributing factor to allow hunting, fishing and trapping. Coupled with the fact that it is being rolled into an existing WMA. Suddenly, my fifty straight years of...

Not in the Pines but still noteworthy. A beautiful piece of land folded into the existing Cohansey River Wildlife Management Area. http://www.nj.gov/dep/newsrel/2017/17_0074.htm

Or someone. :eek:

One of the sad things is that the new USGS maps would be absolutely worthless for teaching orienteering and the woodsmanship that goes along with the ability to use a map and compass to determine where you are and how to get somewhere else in the wilds. Coming across a railroad or other...

They even left out cemeteries. Check out the missing Chew Cemetery inside Rusnak's property on Chew Road.

A graphic of the current 2016 digital Hammonton Quad and the 1981 classic 7.5 minute map. Many roads have disappeared along with adequate contour labeling and road intersection elevations.
