I had a great morning in the woods. Got to throw some lead and I missed one. Mercury was reading 3 when I left the house. I still hunted the edge of a big maple swamp along Great Swamp Branch and around 7:30 I had a parade of deer come across the swamp. You could hear them coming from a...

Here is a link to a Courier article from today 1-22-05. http://www.courierpostonline.com/news/southjersey/m012205h.htm The summit on the yuppy invasion has been postponed until 1-31-05 because of the snow expected for today. I would have thought that "they" would have welcomed the...

Uh-oh. Sounds like the beginning of the end to me. Just what I need; a yuppie tree hugger (eco tourist?) from Connecticut dressed in L.L. Bean's junk, wandering around the woods, whining about the gun-wielding hunters in the 4x4's. :mad:

They have got to be the least imaginative photos of the JC tracks I have ever seen. I wouldn't bid -$0.02 for both. All you gotta do is jump out of your truck on Chew Road or any other crossing and you can take the same pictures. At least they could have captured some trestles or some...

Out of respect for the pineys that all of you revere as such an integral part of the pines, let's talk about some of the things they used to used to do that are now banned in our current fish and game laws. (Just so we all don't go into shock over baiting deer.) First, leg hold traps. They...

Bob You can pick up a printed, bound version of the game laws at any sporting goods store that sells licenses including big box retailers like Kmart, Dick's etc. You will find printed tables of small game seasons and printed summaries of all deer seasons that are marked for cutting and...

Ben, A couple of corrections: There is hunting for all species, including deer, on Dec. 30 and 31. Muzzleloader for deer extends to Jan. 7, 2005 and includes New Years Day. The only day that is ever excluded from muzzleloader and permit shotgun is Christmas day because it is assumed that...

I'm leaning towards the Green Bank Inn. A couple of shots of Beam for courage, a few drafts and WHAM! That WHAM might be her cracking you with a bottle though. Scott :guinness:

I snuck up on a vernal pond 2 years ago in late winter/early spring when I was scouting out a turkey hunting spot and the wood frogs were in full vocal mode. Just like the article says, they quack. I first thought I was sneaking up on a group of fledgling wood ducks. As soon as they could...

Bob The most common format for us land surveyors is degrees, minutes, seconds. Bearings contained in deeds and on survey documents use that format. Having your GPS set for degrees and minutes to 3 decimal places (deg,m.mmm) will yield accurate locations to input into mapping sites and...

I have seen a few piebald in Wharton. I saw an entitrely white deer a few years ago while spotting one night and one of my my sons got a crack at it later that season with his muzzleloader. He was so nervous when he saw it coming out of the cedars like a ghost that he shot under it. We had a...

Too late Bob. There is something to hunt in every month of the year; always has been. When I was a kid I literally hunted every day in the summer and every day I could after school. Crows and groundhogs are two of the huntable species that carry through the spring and summer every year. I...

Here is a quote from Bald Brad from yesterday after the decision was issued: Campbell emphasized that the Supreme Court's decision does not condemn hunting in any way. "It is a disservice to the court to suggest that they were in any way moved by political arguments," he said. "It would be a...

Here is a link from today's Courier Post. http://www.courierpostonline.com/news/southjersey/m111904f.htm Hopefully our new stand-in Governor has a bigger set of 'nads than our former embarassment and can reel in Campbell before he does any more damage. Scott :)

Here is a link to the latest on the bear hunt.Apparently the judge has some common sense. http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/newjersey/111704BEAR_N16.cfm If any one is interested, I can post a copy of Bob McDowell's letter to Cody. It's very informative and gives the history of the...

I guess she moved to Chatsworth for the bustling social life and the close-at-hand shopping opportunities. :p

Here is a link to a current article on WPVI.com It has a video of the bear trashing up the backyard along with the article and a near-tearful woman worrying about her kids getting eaten by wildlife. I don't know how long the link will last since the website gets updated a lot. Hurry up and...

I am going to do a brief presentation about the cleanup at the next Waterford Township Committee meeting on 11-10-04. I would estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of that mountain of trash came out of Waterford Township, primarily off of Chew road and back here in Pestletown. I made 4 fully loaded trips...

Hey Ben! Maybe a lot of our members don't understand how ridiculous our ATV law really is. When I bought my quad 4 years ago, I looked into registering it . DMV has provisions in the law whereby you can register your ATV as long as you have liability insurance. Do you know what the...

What I have against Mr. Campbell, Bob, is that he is the first Commissioner and hopefully the last to want to dismantle the Fish and Game Council. The Council is comprised of 11 educated people that determine the seasons and bag limits each year for all game species. It just so happens that...
