Hopefully Bill, you will be able to catch a whole pack on the prowl. I'd love for the folks here to hear that. Something you gotta hear to believe.

Thanks for the info furball. I don't see myself doing too many long hikes down there this summer but maybe after a better chance to acclimate over the winter I'll be able to cover some distances next spring.

I'm with you Mark. I can see coyotes eventually being classified as varmints with an open season on them. It may take 10,15 or even twenty years but I'm sure it will happen. It's a shame too because they are just doing what they do best, and that's find food. One thing that most people...

Same here Sue, I've had plenty of chigger bites but never an actual chigger sighting. Sorry to hear about the chiggers. You're in for a wonderful week. I did get to chalk one up for us humans last week. I found a dead tick in the sock with my prosthetic foot. Must have gotten in there...

I agree 100%. Another answer if you live in the woods and are afraid is go rescue a dog or two. There are always stories of coyotes attacking a dog but you rarely, if ever, hear of an attack when more than one dog is present. Of course, I do believe this is a time when size matters.:dance:

Do I have to bring my own picture or will there be pics available for purchase at the autograph table?:rofl:

I have to respectfully disagree with you Star. These can be dangerous animals if left to breed out of control which, I think will happen here in NJ. I believe conditions are excellent here for them to get somewhat out of control, and when that happens, bad things will happen. I sure hope...

Speaking of Florida ticks, are there loads of deer ticks down there Furball? I'm moving down there on June 9th and hope to do a little hiking if possible.

Pretty incredible what one of those things can do. I saw the damage one did in Southern Illinois a few years back and it's just something you have to see to believe. They don't only destroy personal property but they can turn a beautiful section of woods into an "ecological disaster area"...

I was just checking the weather online and they said conditions are favorable for the formation of tornados, which brought this question to mind. Have there ever been any recorded instances of a tornado touching down in the pines and staying on the ground for any distance? With that...

I'm with you on the dispatching. Spiders give me the willies ever since I ran, face first, into a big old Garden spider while playing hide and seek as a youngster. I shiver just thinking about it.

Awesome sighting Jeff. While living in KY, coyotes were a common thing but I never saw a black one or a completely red one. I'm guessing here but I wouldn't be surprised if the red one turns grey as it matures. I saw lots down there and the ones I saw up close were almost always grey with red...

I've never seen ticks this bad or chiggers either for that matter. It seems to me that when you would see ticks about 25 years ago, they would be the larger ticks and rarely ever the deer ticks. I do recall seeing more of a mix about 12 years ago when I would spend what seemed like months but...

Welcome to the site Swamper. You'll love this site if you have an interest in the Pines.

Great pics Jeff. I recognized that bridge. That's the one on the Harrisville road between Evans Bridge and Harrisville. Very cool. I also recognized the canoe landing. Did you happen to notice the "road" that looks like it was recently cut into the woods if you continued in a downstream...

"Do the chickens have large talons?" It's so good to see Eagles doing well in the pines. I remember giving money in school to help save them and now my pennies have paid off.

I understand you doing as you were told. I imagine the guy would have rolled you over the side if you hadn't listened to him.

What teeth?

What kind of snakes are the last two? Pine and Corn snakes? I've never seen either in person.
