    Success, Colliers Mills, and the Long Road to 539

    I sold my Willys in 1977 [wish I had a barn to have 'hidden' it in!] and I tell all my college friends to think back. MOST of the 4 wheelin' we did during college was in two wheel drive. 4 X 4 means you pay 4 times a much for the vehicle, parts, aftermarket improvements, etc. You get in...

    Your ideal Pinelands off-road rig?

    I understand the concept of larger tires in mud but they do tear up things. When I had my Willys, I stuck to the size tires it came with. Sometimes you do better w/ out the high flotation stuff. Snow is less of a problem when you only need to push thru it w/ a stock tire. The old Willys had a...

    beef jerky

    That makes a real difference. Due to the varieties of weather conditions, we use a butcher in Rosetto, Pa. that used to be the head cutter at a local PA food chain. We were one of his first customers when he opened his own place. We take our deer there after supper & it is skinned and hung in...

    beef jerky

    I remember our 'family' butcher. My grandfather helped him build his smoke house & shop in the 20's and the guy was rather old when I was young. He & his kids had moved from the corner butcher shop into wholesale meat distribution, building a refridgerated warehouse next door to the old shop but...

    beef jerky

    Most people would not be able to taste the difference. I like a good venison jerky & you know what's in it!

    Did not expect this!!

    Other than a small taste, I leave most of my venison w/ Mom & Dad 'cause my family does not eat it. I'll help my neighbor doing his roasts in the crockpot & sharing it w/ him. My youngest daughter will have a taste & my wife tried it early on [she can't help it she's originally from Brooklyn]...

    Superfund site

    I worked for two of the nations largest tank transport companies [Chemical Leaman & Matlack, Inc] and both of them have terminals in southern New Jersey [Swedesboro & Bridgeport]. Both locations were started in the late 50's or early 60's in areas without POTW's. In 1960 the evaporation lagoons...

    They're tongue in cheek. I think she is best to get safety zone signs and make sure she knows when the seasons run. The recient activity was probably due to the impending close of the season. I was introduced to the out doors, around age 6 as my father & a friend who raised beagles & bassetts...

    Air strippers work when the polution plume has not spread too far. I've seen them installed at former gas stations. It is a column w/ a media inside - looks like ribbons of crinkled polyurethane rolled up to the diameter of the column & stacked inside. A blower sends air up the column while...

    You could still post 'SafetyZone' posters at 450 feet from your home. that law applies to everyone, not just the land owner. Due to the overabundance of deer in NJ the extended season ran until Feb 12th. My neighbor was out on Sat & his 'club' ended the day w/ a huge beer bash [:-(] and...

    If they have been identified; they are paying. The problem sites were those that also accecpted municipal household waste too. Like Kinbuc in Edison. In addition to hundreds of corporate dumpers, they also tried to drag in all the towns too. Sounds silly but I'll bet a few lawyers upgraded the...

    NJ Division of Fish, Game, & Wildlife is part of the DEP and has a section on their website. You have (2) distinct problems/violations. Hunters are required to have the permission of a land owner BEFORE hunting on private property. The former owner may have allowed them or not cared & I'd...

    Pine Barren Culture; Dead or Alive

    The unique pine culture will adapt to modern 'pressure' while retaining is's natural elements because of the 'isolation' that remains in the area. When I read McPhee & other pinelands books, I saw the image of rural, natural, america similar to the descriptions my father relates about the...

    No deer in PA!

    WoW!, Tough call...My Bro-In-Law lost one. He shot a doe on the first day, good blood trail, followed it almost 1/2 mile, Ends w/ out a final puddle in a low growth area along the road...must have dropped in front of a 'Road Hunter' who jumped out & grabbed it & tossed it in the back of a...

    No deer in PA!

    Our 'In Camp' joke followed the line of thought that surrvivor bucks are, for the largest part, nocturnal & we were joking that PA is too late we've already shot all the deer w/ genes that allow daylight eating & it's time to invest in night vision goggles...

    No deer in PA!

    I remember having two weeks of antler hunting & one day of doe for those lucky enough to hae 'won' a permit from the county. You'd see 40 - 50 doe per day in buck season. Our butcher would see close to 100 deer in the first day. The state antlered kill would be over 250,000 The first day of...

    A Good Winter Hunt

    I've walked up on reciently vacated deer beds in the snow, they curl up and the snow covers them, great natural insulation. sometimes they get behind a log or other similar windbreak.
