It is Sunday, October 26. Meet at Atsion Ranger Station at 9:30 a.m. to sign up.

PM sent. Scott

I get clam diggers itch at least 3 times each summer because I go barefoot and I am a knucklehead and refuse to wear water shoes while clamming. I think water shoes are gay and afterall, I do have an image to uphold. :) The last bout I had was in late July and they got me good. Good enough...

I would imagine West would have passed away by now. Some of my best memories at Cook were the three week forestry field camp practicum and the nightly visits to Brady's Pub outside the camp. The professors were all right there with you downing shots and shootin' pool (except for Boris...

Personally I would like see a few active forestry operations in the pines. Almost everything we see in the pines today has been cut over multiple times, including most of the cedar swamps. Afterall, if it were not for that, we wouldn't be able to enjoy such things as the Swamp Monster and...

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...

My main purpose was to remind the members of the impending shared use of our woods by hunters. As German said, there is little reason to fear for your safety as hunting has one of the lowest accident rates of any outdoor sport. I appreciate the respect of others when I am hunting and I respect...

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

I'll repost it.

Thanks again Ben for being the best one-armed paper hanger on the web! :) Scott

I jumped over the 50 hump last Friday. Doesn't feel any different at this point. :)

Y-Buc-Bill is one of the most respectful and respected men that I know. I truly value him as a friend. Bill has lived a lot of pines history and remains active in sportsmen's and offroad enduro interests in his young 80's. Sorry about the age giveaway Bill. :) I hope I can hold a candle to...

I hope you didn't misconstrue my thoughts Guy. I don't think the bears' presence in SJ is a rumor, I just don't believe they are being transported here by F&W.

Yeah, it's all part of the mysterious hidden agenda of NJ Fish and Wildlife to transport and disperse all types of animals throughout the state. Coyotes were the first part of the agenda. Supposedely the farmers were supporting F&W to bring them in to cut down the deer population. Bullsh-t...

We had all of our windows open last night and we woke up from a dead sleep from the smell of the smoke at 2:30 a.m. It was hanging thick with no air moving at all.

Beautiful photos. I love driving through those areas, especially Sea Breeze, in the dead of winter. I used to crab out of Husteds on Back Creek a little south of there. The last time I saw that road in your pic it was partially in the bay. The Dix tract is a great late season rabbit hunting...

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...

Scariest cat I have seen by far: http://www.usvetdsp.com/gifs/obama_char2.jpg :)

Yes, the high bush is the one that is cultivated commercially. See my post above. Be sure you know what you are eating because there are other things in the woods with blue berries that are not edible.
