Mudboy, thanks for responding to my post. Seems you are really passionate about this thing and I respect that. I agree educating is the key, you are part of a group that gets alot of heat as I am with reptiles. Many CO's see me in the woods looking for snakes and automatically think I'm doing...

Mudboy, do people who are into your hobby sort of police eachother? For example I'm mainly into reptiles and ampibians. A issue with this hobby is some people collect these things illegally from the barrens. Now if I ever see anyone collecting I call conservation officers, or deal with it...

Jeff, sometimes they don't trigger, you may have set it too high. I normally set mine real low to the ground and otters have triggered it. I learned this through trial and error. But I did have a similar expierience were I had deer tracks all around my camera but no deer. I had my camera out...

I consider myself to be an environmentalist, and truely don't have issue with alot of ORV traffic. The woods is for everyone to use and many peoples money goes towards using it and preserving it. I would hope that the ORV community can police itself like other communities. I mean if you see...

I have the intention of putting my camera out again and using animal scent around it. I'm probably going to buy a couple more cameras and place them out.....I'll see what they turn up.

Ah the pool off of the tracks.....wow that pool has been destroyed hasn't it. Doesn't seem to hold water like it use to, I sometimes wonder if that doesn't have something to due with quads and cars going through it.....I don't think thats his work, but more so Emile's or Louis. Fred is...

Thanks for those shots Bob. I've spent a good amount of time behind the lake looking for a certain slithering animal. I've really been trying to locate a good intact cedar swamp, but it seems much of that sort of thing isn't there, due to heavy agr. use. I did find a small intact cedar swamp...

Ok that is fair. I've had dealings with Fred and all were positive. He went/and is going out of his way to protect some vernal pools that continually get monster trucks driven through them. I understand the plights of both the ORV and conservation community. But I've seen so much destruction...

Recognize alot of those spots, especially the fallen garage by the blueberry fields. That area was very dry in the summer good to see it filling back up. Did any of you happen to find any large in tact at. white cedar swamps? Preferable, behind the lake(north).

Grendel, I bet you these things could sniff out a trail cam. If there is cougar here passing through, then that area around 206 would be the spot....gets pretty wild by rockwood road.....and lots of those savanahs.

46er have you had other dealings with Fred. Just curious since it seems you have established an opinion on his character?

Al, the bobcat was at Manumuskin. Grendel, is your buddies last name Hartman that saw the cougar?

I've seen quail in cape may county....were they extirpated in much of NJ? What is their story?

Al, those tracks were from....well were you get your name from. I did actually see a bobcat out there but briefly and with no picture I don't talk about it much. Grendel, thanks for the clarification I always wondered about the ones in the wet sand. If you look back at some previoius posts...

That was my fear....looks like he got burned. I'm guessing many box turtles and spotteds died during that blaze, as they burrow in pine needles. Was hoping he was alive.:(

Jim, that is a spotted turtle was he dead?

The turtle is a male, Guy is right. The other way to tell is males have a curve in their plasteron, and a lip of sorts on the back of their shell. Males normally have very colorful heads too, while females normally are more bland. Males also will normally be found more often late in the...

Guy, I was there too today. I was suprised, I expected it to be worse. It was interesting to see how resilent this environment is to fire. I did bump into of forestry guy who was totally dumbfounded as to why I was out there....I explained didn't do much good.

Nah not Penn State.....I'll show you sometime.

Brandon, Bob and I can show you one that I believe is quite old. Even if it isn't real old it is certainly very nice. It has some buzztails in it too.
