I grew up in a town with 2 gravel and dredging operations, Buzby Brothers and Tri-Boro. Tri-Boro is still active and is owned by the same company that operates Ward Sand and material off of 70. All major operations employ their own mechanics and welders who are very good at fabbing up just...

Gabe, Once again, I have your backpack in the back of my truck. I'll call you today. Scott

The area in that last picture Jeff really spoke words as we were leaving the woods on Saturday. I didn't say anything but I certainly took note of it. The calm tea colored water, the quiet cathedral of cedar and the relief of some easy walking were as if the woods were saying "Enjoy this...

Well, my biggest fear after getting a positive response from 7 other eager woodsmen was that my first planned hike would be too short in length. That did not turn out to be a problem, as it took us nearly 6 hours to cover a track length of only 2.8 miles. Much of the hike was spent tunneling...

I joke around a lot about roadkill but anyone who knows me knows that I do not hesitate, nor do my sons, to scoop up a roadie whenever possible. I count myself as fortunate because I have the ability to dress and butcher my own game. We save hundreds of dollars a year between what we kill and...

Its a good thing she didn't feel threatened. With the calf behind her she would have been pretty protective and might have kicked that guy into next week. I was in Aklaska four years ago in June and we had a lot of mothers with calfs hanging around our campground. I walked past a few on the...

Yeah, go figure. Here I thought Indians in South Jersey were a somewhat recent phenomenon. That is, of course, based only on my limited exposure to them at Dunkin' Donuts and small convenience stores. :mrgreen:

The myth, the legend, finally exposed! Sunday Novemeber 30th tour of the Blue Hole. http://www.courierpostonline.com/article/20081117/NEWS01/811170338/1006/NEWS01

I was asked by Terry from NJ Parks and Forestry to post this announcement here for everyone: On Saturday, November 22, at 1pm, Wharton State Forest will present a program about "Early Indian History of South Jersey". Join local experts as they tell the story of the early inhabitants of...

A tagged, gutted deer laying on the side of the road would be like an early Christmas present for a backwoods type. Not that I would know what a backwoods type is. Personally I would have taken it home and made sure it was properly blessed, wrapped and frozen and then I would have placed ads...

I just got back from hauling a boat trailer up fom Delmont below Leesburg and I stopped out at East Point Lighthouse. The bay is very angry today and should be very angry tomorrow with the frontal change. Tomorrow would be a good picture taking day if you like rough seas in your photos...

These are very good directions and will provide the most scenic route once you dump out of 55. 553 is a good road and it gives you the self guided tour of the Delaware Bay coastline with roads for diversions at each old coastal town. The summers in my early dating years with my wife had many...

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I was back there in February and the bridge was out with no signs of any work being planned or done. Has any one been back there lately? Thanks.

Nice avitar Cletus!

If it wasn't for the head damage, my theory would have been that someone dragged a roadkill into the woods, gutted it, found a little too much damage and walked away. I have done that more than a few times with road kills but usually I find some salvageable meat. Sometimes you just don't know...

My wife ran scared out of the woods yesterday morning clutching our new puppy. She heard a couple coyotes yipping and howling about a quarter mile into the woods across from our house while walking the dog. The area where she heard them is a wooded slough used as travel lane for deer. They be...

Bob forgot the really disturbing part. Half of the deer's head was missing as if shot from very close range with a shotgun. There are no firearm deer seasons in right now, so it looks as if the deer was the victim of illegal and wasteful activity.

You're right, the exact location of that stand is really easy to determine from the photos. It is in the middle of the 10,000+/- acre Parker Preserve in a pine tree. Can't miss it. We spent about two minutes there and disturbed nothing. This hunter, with his mechanical feeder and camera...
