Steve I took one still photo of the eagle perched in the tree but it was too far away to make out any detail. This was before the aerial attack. There were 4 of us in my boat and my one buddy yelled when the osprey swooped in and we all looked up and saw the action. Couldn't grab the camera...

Went fishing on East Creek Pond in Belleplain yesterday and as usual, the bald eagles were working the lake. So were the ospreys. We watched an eagle perched in a dead tree for about 20 minutes. We tried to drift in closer for a look-see when an osprey cruised in screeching like a banshee...

When deer start growling I am hanging up my gun or puttin' away the homemade wine! :eek: Another scary distortion and misstatement of fact in the article is that "buckshot only travels 150 feet " Where the hell did Platt grow up ? Let me guess, Cherry Hill ? Buckshot will travel nearly a...

We did the engineering and surveying for a residential subdivision in Bowers Delaware last year and a family plot was discovered during the review process. I did the boundary fieldwork and there was no indication of graves or of any kind of protected area on the farm. Our plans were submitted...

All of the above are correct Dave. Coon hunting is a gun dog sport that is very primal and brings on a deep respect for the night woods and the hunted as well. I have hunted as a guest with the group (South Jersey Treehound Association) that Largo is referring to back before distemper...

My youngest son just got locked up at college (Millersville Univ.) for detonating illegal fireworks. They cuffed him and charged him and a friend with disorderly persons and waived the fireworks possession. They somehow got their paws on commercial grade fireworks and were lauching the from...

I never knew what kind of turtles they were. I remember them being small and green with a soft shell. Bobbleton enlightened me when he said the slider was not native to NJ but that are mainly a result of people releasing them. I never knew anyone that had any that lived long enough to release.

I had no idea that an industry existed for the sale of turtles. I thought that was banned when I was a little kid in the 60's. Back then you could buy those little green turtles at Woolworths for $0.50. You placed them in a fish bowl and gave them some bogus turtle food that they sold you...

There are more opportunities to hunt in N.J. right now then there have ever been in the history of regulated hunting. Deer can be hunted from September to February and in many zones the the take is unlimited antlerless. Wild turkey were reintroduced in the late 1970's and have taken hold very...

I checked out Mr. Turtle today an he was missing 1 1/2 feet and a head. He has been an ex-turtle for a while apparently, as his shell was pretty light and hollow. My wife and I and the dog walked the dike all the way out and found old remains of two very small deer up on the dike in two...

I am going back there late this afternoon with the boots and I will report back on the turtle. I would love to get another look at the eagle. The tundra swans have been there all this week and they are a nice addition too. Scott

Yesterday I took my nightly walk in Wharton, a chunk of which is located across the street from my house. I live near a series of abandoned bogs. My wife and I see deer and an occassional fox fairly regularly when we walk. Last night it was just me and my dog and I decided to walk one of the...

They don't call me the King of the Internet for nothing. Actually no one calls me that except my wife. Here is a link to the whole history of the ladder project. http://www.fws.gov/northeast/njfieldoffice/Coastal%20Award/18OCT2005.html Enjoy. Scott

Puppyland was the name of a kennel and pet shop that stood in the location of the current Gloucester Township Hider Lane Senior Center. It is on Hider lane and sits on the lake that you are referring to. I used to bass fish their in the early 80's. Puppyland closed in the 1970's and did not...

Nuff said. I have no problem with the rule Ben and I appreciate everything that you do and the costs you incur to provide this website and the photo forums that go with it. We have beaten this horse to death. (I'll just be sure I don't post a picture of it) :mrgreen: Scott

I think a class trip to a slaughter house would be pretty disturbing for young children. At the same time, I think a child needs to learn where the greasy cheeseburger or Chicken Mcnugget tucked into his Happy Meal box really came from. For that matter, most adults would benefit from that kind...

I read Ben's post of 3-10-06 under the Rules section regarding posting of photos posing with carcasses and I could only think of one guy to whom that may pertain. That would be me. Ben said he doesn't have a problem with hunters or hunting but finds photos of people posing with carcasses...

I was back out in Friendship yesterday and me and the wife saved a spotted turtle from being a saily turtle. He was walking right down the midlle of the gravel road just north of the foundations. Picked him up , the dog gave him a sniff and I put back along the edge of the swamp. Probably...

In Pa. they seem to eat mostly seeds from shrub and grass growth. They also seem to hang around groves of hemlock, where they typically roost. I suppose the best one could hope for would be that they eat a few hemlock cones and their turds would smell like hemlock when lit. I think I'll pass...

Buena Vista Township is in fact the pines. It is part of the Pineland National Reserve and under the jurisdiction of the Pinelands Commission as far as development regulation. Take a ride in off of Leghorn or Jackson and head east. You'd swear you were around Chatsworth. A lot of woods for a...
