Moon light and wind swept bogs. Yaaaargh !

Wow. What kind of speakers do you have ? :)

Good job Bob. I have been surveyor and hunter for many years and I have never left my clothes in the woods for any reason. I am hoping that your find helps the case in some way.

Trailing on snow with bird dogs or beagles never ceases to amaze me.

I have been volunteering for a few years with NJFW for the youth pheasant hunts helping plant birds and mentoring the young hunters. It's funny to watch some of the parents doubt the dogs nose. We had one bird drop like a sack of potatoes and within seconds, the dog was on the spot but came up...

If they weren't wearing their P.F. Flyer Decoder Rings, they weren't legit.

Was it truly a survey line Guy or perhaps a gun club cut line ? Most clubs maintain lines through the woods for breaking the large tracts into smaller drives. Most of the locations are handed down from generation to generation and their beginning points are hard to pick out from the main roads...

I would think the State Police would like to have those coveralls. Strange to find them that deep in the woods. It is safe to assume that the man who told you that the missing man was wearing shorts when he disappeared wasn't there when it transpired. He is reporting what he was told by...

Now that's just crazy talk Don. You know WE can't afford those kinds of things here in New Jersey.

Sorry for the temporary derailment Don. I grew up in Gibbsboro and remember Lucas Paint when it was running full bore. (No one called it Sherwin Williams by the way) The Hexamer mappings of the original operations in the 1800's are amazing. The level of detail on the operations make them...

As you can imagine Don, I thoroughly enjoy reviewing maps and surveys, especially the older and more artistic ones. Your map reminded me of the older maps by employing the use of color and annotating ownership history. It is sad to see a lot of the artistic license gone from modern day surveys...

Outstanding work Don. You have made a little known area of the pines come to life with your research and clear mapping.

I think you are spot on Al. Another thing to look at when in sandy areas is the fox track will leave a lighter impression because of the animal's lighter weight. As Al said, the fox track is usually always smaller than the typical coyote. NJChile, the two claw mark indicator applies to the...

I've been to a few trapping seminars and the first thing I learned is that coyotes do not waste time or energy trying to look stupid.

I truly do love Parkdale. We were running the dogs there after work two days a week before we lost Daylight Savings.

Coyote tracks Chooch. Notice the claws making thin slices ? The few that I have killed had claws that looked like hooked razors. Two claw marks in the track are also an indicator. Domestic dogs leave a track with all 4 claw marks showing. The other quick glance clue would be looking at their...

Sorry I didn't see this when it happened Noboat. Glad it worked out.

Followed by: "However, I seem to have lost my hearing."

Happy Birthday fellow Cook alum !

Skut, What does Matt Foley have to say about all of this ? :)
