This weekend is the 26th annual Decoy and Gunning Show in Tuckerton. http://www.ocean.nj.us/Parks/decoyshow.html You gotta like a show where you can literally bring your own gun and no one bats an eye. The Batsto antique and bottle show is Sunday too. Scott

Not exactly a newspaper article but interesting nonetheless. http://timberbuysell.com/Community/DisplayNews.asp?id=3336 This was sent to me by Y-Buc-Bill as a followup to the sawmill article. I graduated from Rutgers U Cook College in '81 with a degree in natural resource management and...

This Saturday marks the beginning of the hunting seasons with the opening of fall bow in several deer management zones (DMZ). Zones 19 and 25 are included in the early season and encompass big chunks of Wharton. The statewide bow opener is October 4th. Here is the full deer schedule...

http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/186/story/250716.html Interesting article about the waning of the sawmill industry here in NJ. Good 'ole NJ regulating people and an industry out of existence. Scott

http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080816/NEWS01/808160354/1006 It will be a shame to see the current one go. They will save the gate wheels though, as a decorative touch for the new one. I sure hope this project doesn't exhibit the same progress as the mansion...

Just heard on Action News a few minutes ago (6:05 a.m.) that the Sweetwater Casino is on fire. They just showed an aerial view and it looks pretty bad. I hope they save Gabe's piano!!

http://www.nj.gov/dep/newsrel/2008/08_0038.htm The last perp in the settlement list is the the Southern Ocean Landfill. They will be "donating" 195 acres near the Forked River Mountain area.

The other day one of my co-workers sent me a link to this program: http://freegeographytools.com/2008/calculate-new-coordinate-position-from-current-position-bearing-and-distance It allows one to input a lat/lon position and then project an azimuth and distance from that point. The...

Today I was fortunate enough to be able to retrace some of the recent steps of Ben, our website host, with him and a few other members of the site in the awesome Mordecai Swamp. It was a beautiful day to be in the big woods and I learned quite a bit about an area that I have overlooked for...

Guy, Boyd or others may be able to help me with this I hope. I have a track stored in my Garmin 60CSX that I need to plot in AutoCAD for a project in work. The track displays in Garmin's Mapsource and I have an option to "save as" a .gdb (Garmin's file type?) or .dxf file type. dxf is...

I won't be around for this but maybe some of you would like to attend. Scott http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/news/2008/fshforumsouth.htm

I found this fallen, decaying tree last week in Parkdale when I was walking with my wife. For me, it held stories because it was formerly a hunter's tree stand. Its steps were railroad spikes and it had a little platform near the top. It had probably been laying for 10 years or more and I...

This was published by NJDEP. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/newsrel/2008/08_0006.htm It is a real shame that somebody could be that disrespectful of such a majestic animal. Scott

I left the house a little before 6 yesterday morning to hunt coyote, maybe set some snares and look for 3 gun clubs that have piqued my interest for a long time. I assume the first two were gunclubs only because of their location and remoteness. The first two appear as structures on the Atsion...

My wife says my youngest son is a genetic mirror of me including the way he talks, walks, chews tobacco (sorry) and consistently finds ways to make a spectacle of himself. This week he was at Camelback with some buddies. Someone my wife works with gave him a real mummers outfit before he...

While most normal people were sleeping this morning and awaiting a visit from Big Red, my younger son and I hunted Wescoat Bogs. It was crisp morning with no wind and a brilliant moon. We set out across the bogs and headed for an old favorite spot of mine. To my surprise, the spot was no...

I had a very trying week this past week with my 85 year old mother knocking on heaven's door. She has severe dementia and has been in the NJ Veterans home for 8 years. My father died there in 1997 with Alzheimers. On Wednesday she was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and a bad urinary...
