You should experience Wescoat from a duck hunter's perspective. Kicking away sheets of skim ice with your shins as you set up decoys in the dark.Hearing the squawks of herons as they cruise by in the predawn light and then the whistling of wings as the pastel sky brightens over the cedars to...

No, they are not privately owned. I wish they were to minimize the hunting pressure. The State acquired them when they were piecing together the non-Wharton owned pieces of the Wharton State Forest. The bogs on the same road, closer to 206, are privately owned and actively worked. Boot Hill...

Dave If I didn't worry just a little about my hepatic enzyme levels, I would have Knob Creek in my Oatmeal at breakfast. You have to try Knob Creek and Gentleman Jack at the first chance you get. And don't even get me started about my homemade wine. Steve (Behr) has had a bottle and I think...

Ahhhh...Good Whiskey. Part of the lifeblood of a true woodsman. I love good bourbon and it is one of life's simplest pleasures at the end of a long cold day in the deer woods. Steve, Jack Daniels is a "Tennessee Whiskey" by name (check the label) and it meets the Govt. definition for...

63.7699 acres. There's a surveyor that wasn't shy about showing significant figures beyond that of the work at hand. 63 ac. +/- would have been more appropriate. That is my favorite duck hunting spot in the pines. Hunting pressure varies from: "What are you shooting at A--hole?, to: Am I the...

The "Pine Barrens" is a difficult area to describe as far as deer habitat goes. The habitat quality varies greatly because the area is so vast. There are agricultural fringe areas in Tabernacle and other parts of Burlington county within the "barrens" that produce trophy 130lb.+ bucks every...

Looks like a good time. Guy, baiting for deer in N.J. was legalized about 6 years ago under a lot of pressure from the bowhunters. It spread to the shotgun and muzzleloader guys immediately. The argument from the bowhunters is that it lets you are able to make a closer, cleaner kill shot...

Those foundations along with some existing occupied homes and a few foundations out on Chew Road are the remnants of Chewtown. I have an 1885 map of Waterford that calls the area Chuton. I have seen other maps call it Chuton as well. An older (75 yrs old +/-) friend of mine from church is the...

Guy My visualization is telling me that he is describing Sandy Causeway on the way out to Chew. If you headed southwest about 2 miles from the trestle in Parkdale along the track road, you would hit Sandy Causeway. (locally known as Three Bridge road) If you made a left you would be heading...

The 275 gallon oil tank anecdote in this link was the oil tank that we pulled out of a spong on Chew Road. I hauled it back to Atsion in my truck. With a lot of help from Jersey Devil 4x4 guys muscling it out of the spong. The page has a good photo of the brim of my hat in the lower right...

According to their web page "about us" section, they utilize farm fields between crop rotations, old gravel pits and ski resorts in the off-seasons. No state lands, accorrding to them. They appear to have a good handle on the number of unregistered quads and dirtbikes in N.J. It also looks...

Yes, the photomap in the Conservation Resource site link is the map I was referring to that depicts the road network footprint. Ski Mountain, now Pine Hill Golf Course, is west of Branch Ave. (el. 209) Their facilities are contained within Branch Ave.to the east, Hickstown Road to the...

Come on Guy, I thought you were a better detective than this! Punch in Clementon in Maptech and check out your highest points of elevation. BM 199 (Lat 39d 47m 52s x Long. 74d 59m 36s jumped out at me) Then look at the footprint of the roads as shown in the Conservation Resources map...

You could have come late. They were registering people up until 11:00 a.m. +/-. The registration was only for future contact and to get a door prize ticket for the Pic. The dumpsters are set at the next road south of Quaker Bridge Road, not at the ranger station. We were at the Pic until the...

The cleanup was a time well spent in the woods and once again (2) 40 yard roll-offs were filled, a mound of metal including a car and a trailer load of tires were removed from the pines. The materials came from Waterford to Chatsworth and beyond. Numerous Jeep clubs were well represented and...

Here is the text from a factoid that was in today's Courier as well. ATV FACTS From 1982 through 2004, at least 48 people died in ATV-related accidents in New Jersey, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Those most likely to be involved are under the age of 16. It...

Another off-road vehicle park may have a small, positive effect on the pines. It will draw a few of the current riders out of the woods that are nervous about getting nailed by the Parks and Forestry boys (or girls). As for the majority of people who own quads and dirt bikes, they will...

George If you go to Atsion first and register you would be eligible for some nice truck accessory door prizes at the Pic later in the day. I will be usuing my red truck becuse it doesn't have the tool box. I will be headed to Atsion at around 9:00 a.m. to sign in and hopefully grab some...

Not to mention the almost endless 4x4 related accessory doorprizes for the participants given away at the Pic. Hey King, I am the guy that wrote the letter about the cleanup last year and presented it to Waterford Township Committee. I had aked for "No Dumping" signs and a little police...
