I realize now that they were over the line while you were on state land. Pennsylvania was different as the Stateforest & Game Lands were bought by the Game Commission for hunting use and they just reciently woke up and realized that, authorized or not, these areas were being used by others. They...

This week is NJ's Shotgun Deer Season. You saw a group of "Standers" maybe from a gunclub, waiting for the "Drivers" walking thru from the opposite side of the section of property. They may have kennels on their trucks but you can't use dogs for deer [except in places like alabama, mississippi...

I'm 50 and I've been hunting since I was eleven, there are 'ethical' hunters, in fact most are ethical, all it takes is one bad apple...I just returned from a week of deer hunting in Penna. I had two opportunities where I did not shoot because I knew that there were houses in the area behind the...

Pie Balds are deer w/ mixed pigment having brown eyes & noses. They do seem to group in the same areas, or at least you hear of specific areas where they are spotted frequently. Albino deer lack pigment so their eyes & nose, etc apear pink instead of the usual brown/black. This is a genetic...

Score one for the Fish & Game supporters; unfortunately I'm sure theat the other side will appeal. Hopefully Fish & Game will have the opportunity to mail the permits befroe the appeal stops that!

It's free from after Labor Day until Memorial Day. Too bad it's too cold to visit Gunnison Beach. Now is a good time 'cause the NPS has 'leased' the old buildings in Fort Hancock to a developer for preservation via rental to corporate or college tennants. This may change the access to some...

WoW. get busy and the saga grows while you're away! I think Brusert's last post says alot. Unfortunately you can't please all the people all the time. PA does have accomodations to Mountain bikes & Quads on state land & snowmobiles too BUT don't ride a MX motorcycle w/ your buddy on the...

The hunting community follows the agenda published by F & W and followed the mandated process. They are NOT the villian here! I grew up in a family with a strong hunting tradition. My participation is limited by commitments to my family & job and I see my week of deer hunting as 'my'...

We're on State forest land just N of Marshalls Creek If you drove up Rt 402, you went near. It is great country w/ it's own set of geographic oddities but boulder fields & potholes don't compare to Orchids, etc. like you see in the pines. It's been fun watching the turkeys & now bear spread from...

Pennsylvania has expanded it's bear hunt in the pocono counties where population vrs bear is the most severe. The allow bear licensed hunters to also take bear during the first week of the deer hunt. I'm 50 and I've been hunting there since I was 11 and although I have seen bear in the woods; I...

My experience is in the Poconos and I've always heard them when I was in remote places. once you hear one, you never forget the sound.

I aquired a Legend for X-mas last year & I really like it. Once you get used to the controls, it is fairly easy to use. I've taken it on several auto trips and will be taking it hunting this year to mark my spots...

Mnnn...Huney... :bear: yes but Pooh Bear is unlikely...Just a little far from the three acre wood.

My neighbor hunts the edge of Assinpink [mercer/monmouth] and he's been hunting for three weeks already. It's 'Earn a Buck' so he's taken (2) doe and a 5 point. I have an adversion to razor sharp blades & I don't like the idea of shotgunning when I grew up where they use Rifles so I still...

It's seems to be getting worse. My family's hunting camp always got hit every few years. Sometimes just someone stayin' there a few days who actually cleaned up their dishes & left 'em in the rack on the sink. Then stealing coffee pots & toasters, etc. to sell @ the flea market for drug...

I first carried an Eastern Arms single, external hammer 12 ga. that my dad picked up used. It stands behind his front door w/ a selection of shot shells nearby from #8's to #00. Still shoots nice tight patterns. My pappy's gun was a marlin over-under 20 ga. I still, vividly, remember comming...

Family Tradition I grew up in PA in a family of hunters. We have a camp that was established in 1928 & the tent was replaced w/ a cabin in 1933. Today the youngest current hunter is in his 40's 'cause alot of today's kids don't have time to go afield like we did. I have a nephew that might...

I drove all over the Poconos, Around Scranton during College, and any other dirt road I could fund, like the top of the AP East of Tot's gap. Always used to stay in 4x2 'cause the 62 Willys got better mileage w/ the front axle locked out...Saved 4x4 for the times it got stuck. No winch, come -...

Could be an Owl, they get real big & fly MOSTLY at night.

I think that it should depend on the significance of the spot. If the place has a 'history' it should be preserved w/ the designation 'ruins' but that should not be done for insignificant cellar holes. You'll need to exercise some judgement. Any place designated on a topo will become a...
