Beautiful day in the woods today. I was in my climber by 6:30 a.m. on a crisp silent morning along Great Swamp Branch. As soon as I hoisted my gun into the tree, I could hear the steady cadence of deer on dry leaves coming toward me. I never even sat down. My knees were knocking waiting to get...

Took a hike through Parkdale today with the wife and dog and it was a beautiful day in the woods. No wind and a cobalt sky. Checked on a few geocaches we set a year ago and took a few pictures of Sleeper Branch and Clark's Branch. Good day to be suckin' air. I am going to try to attach the...

Guy and I share a similar interest in finding old survey markers. I enjoy it because I am a land surveyor and I love being in the woods as much as possible. I know Guy loves the woods as much as I do and he has accumulated a wealth of skills in finding these markers over the years.. Me and...

Hey Guy, I am having a blast with this new digital camera. Posted two new photos today. Do you know where this monument is? Scott

While out in Wharton on Sunday afternoon my wife and I noticed what looked like fleas by the thousands in the snow along the edge of a road. It looked like dirty snow. I don't know what made us look so close but you could watch them move and jump just like a flea. The snow looked like it had...

Sounds like there is a little momentum building behind this "thing" http://www.courierpostonline.com/news/southjersey/m020105e.htm

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...

My wife and I and the dog just got back from a short walk off 206 and we got a load of chiggers that looked like something out of a horror movie. The dog is springer and all his white hair looked like it was moving without him! My wife and I sprayed our boots and pants but it didn't matter. We...
