    My First Rattle Snake

    But the first couple of hundred thousand years must have been a lot of dead pine snakes since Rattlers are supposedly more highly evolved then non venomous species and so wouldn't have appeared till after the Non Venomous species so there would have been no real rattlers around to mimic. I guess...

    My First Rattle Snake

    I was thinking okay He took a pic of a Pine Snake to build us up to the Rattler:-) I thinks Pines are the bomb as well so don't be depressed.I"ve been running the Barrens since the 70's and have only seen one live rattler myself and one DOR. You stay in the woods long enough you'll see one.

    Ticks explode

    I have never had a tick in my scalp.Me and my wife were discussing that just yesterday.Is there not enough blood in the scalp to attract them? The hair can't be a deterrent since they chew the hell out of my dog. Perhaps they can tell from a distance there is nothing interesting in my head anyway?

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    I accidently had my dad drop me and my cousin off into the wrong stream.I only had them map in John parnes "Canoing the NJ Pine Barrens".I didn't know what a topo was back then.My dad thought it didn't look canoeable but the map said it was the first river up hampton gate road....it lied.I put...

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    I canoed/waded Springers brook from hampton Road to almost the Batsto River when i was 14 and bailed about half a mile before they connected.It was quite bad.There is no stone bridge and I remember no abutments.Possibly a wooden bridge at one time.I didn't know enough back then to recognize a...

    Ticks explode

    Never have gotten ticks or chiggers after spraying with that stuff.Perhaps they've evolved resistance to it or maybe the resisitance was there all along and it's coming to the fore now? :-)

    bay days

    You'd think after 200,000,000 years they'd of evolved some sort of ballast system to keep em from flipping like that or at least a way of righting themselves.Wonder their not extinct.

    Baby Deer

    I have been this close to several and I think this one picked a bad spot.His/her camo does not work well here.I almost stpped on one of the ones I encountered.In dappled sunlight they disappear. I saw it's ear flick as my boot was coming down on it.It was in an old fire break i was using as a...

    Ticks explode

    I have peremethrin but had stupidly taken it out of the truck and put it in the house.When I got to the woods I intended to spray (I always forget to spray in advance like I"m supposed to) and then I realized I left it home. I have picked as much as 80 ticks off of me at one time.I do believe...

    Plat Plotter

    This site looks like FORWARD only it does it on the aerials whereas after using FORWARD to get the coords I enter the coords into Topofusion to show me what I"m dealing with. Great site.I"ll try it next time I plot if I can just figure out how to get the flag to stay where I drop it.It keeps...

    Plat Plotter

    I was going to ask how long as a pole but it appears to be the same as a rod and I have used rods and know their 16.5 ft.Wonder where that originally came from and why is a chain 66 ft?

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    It is quite a purty area and poison ivy is actually a beautiful plant,especially in the fall but it'll blister me right up given the opportunity.I would do it again if I had gloves on but the mud was too thick to walk through,if I could of grabbed stuff for support it would have been better but...

    Forest Fire at Atsion

    Actually you may be right.Looking at the topo map and my tracks I never made it to the Wesickaman channel which appears to be west of the ridge which would be the swamp Guy and I crossed a year or so back.I was east of the Ridge which would technically be this Mynie Spring run.There was current...
