Umm, where do I press 1 for English?

Quote: Hunters are not the same anymore No more roughing it. Guy Yesterday 04:00 PM When my oldest brother was alive, we bandit camped for a week of permit bow. We had a couple sites around Chatsworth, and a site near Greenwood. They were great trips: All night camp fires, then falling...

I think on Google it's called Lower Forge Road, where it intersects with Quaker Bridge Sandy Ridge road (we always called it Quaker Bridge Road, but apparently the name changes after it crosses the Batsto River, from Quaker Bridge Atsion to Quaker Bridge Sandy Ridge). Greg

I was "bandit camping" in the pines a few years back and heard something similar. It sounded like a screaming woman. I thought it was a Screech Owl, but I wasn't sure.

Sue, thanks for the repsonse. We saw actual fleas. The vet has actually put her on an Antibiotic (Keflex?) because the scratches became infected. We also got an antihistamine for her as he said she had an allergic reaction. We will also switch her flea and tick medicine from Frontline, the vet...

Question for pet owners This isn't quite on subject, but did anyone else have problems this summer with bugs (ticks, chiggers or fleas) on their pets? We used Frontline on our dog, and this summer it didn't seem to work as well. She ended up with fleas, even though we applied Frontline. We also...

Yep, this is my fall hunting season for pickerel. I met my brother (Tom M) at Chatsworth Lake last week and we had our best day of the year. Now, I'm chomping at the bit to get back out. I've rearranged my tackle box enough this week, I think I could find stuff blindfolded. If you see a guy...

Jeff, The slow retrieve has worked in the winter for me. As my "warm water" fishing is over for the year (I'm presently recuperating at home from surgery, and climbing the walls), I won't get a line in the water until it's cold. Hopefully I'll have a lot of time to perfect that slow retrieve. Greg

The article was interesting, but the reader comments following the article were pretty funny.

Thanks for the warning for this area, all. I have worked regularly in that general area and sometimes stopped at the overlook for a coffee break. I never knew that was going on there.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If you are hunting deer during any season and you want to use new/different technology (or bait, crossbow, etc...) to make a cleaner kill, whats wrong with that? As long as it's legal. BTW, I hunted deer with a traditional 50 lb recurve and never shot a...

I also spend time alone in my canoe, usually on the Batsto, and I occasionally swim. Call it age or something, but this year I didn't swim alone. Although I cherish my "alone time" on the water, more and more I realize how fragile life is. My heart goes out to his family for their loss.

Jeff, I assume you were in your kayak? I hope to fish the lake this weekend or next in my canoe and will check it out, although I'll probably put in at the lake and paddle down. Last winter when I walked along the canal it looked like I couldn't get my canoe by the trees. Greg

I used to do that too, but I walked along the canal last winter from 532 to the lake and there were some trees down. It looked pretty tight. It's worth a walk to check it out, though (maybe after the chigger season).

I've parked on the gravel area across from the lake (on the straight section of 532) and carried my canoe across to the lake. There's a small beach there. There's not as many chiggers at that spot, as the beach is a little more open. The only hard part is lifting my canoe over the guardrail...

Anytime I think about what it would have been like to live back then, my wife reminds me that had I lived in that era, I would have only lived until age 19. I guess that puts things in perspective for me. Jerseyman, the diary entry was very interesting. Thanks for posting it. Greg

Lousy photo? It even smiled for the camera :)

When I was young, my little kid's definition of a crick was a small tidal stream. We fished Little and Big Timber Cricks. A river was a really big crick. Now I canoe and fish the Batsto and Oswego "Rivers" which are about 20 feet wide or so, and a crick is about the sound that my knees and hips...

Sorry I'm a couple of weeks late on seeing this and posting. My wife and I just got back from our first trip to Alaska. We did a cruise with some excursions inland, and to say the scenery was breath taking is an understatement! I've (temporarily) replaced my Chatsworth Lake back ground with snow...
