When I was about fifteen i remember finding my first pitcher plant in a bog on mill creek west of union lake.I went back with a two gallon bucket and dug up a bunch of peat muck and then dug up a plant and nestled it down in the goo.I took it home originally filled with swamp water and muck and...

First off it is illegal.Thats WMA state property and camping is illegal and the bay is patrolled by the coast guard so if you do it and have a fire I'd go stealth mode and try to make it invisible from the water and the parking area. Scott is right about your car.They may think your a boater...

If he was so afraid of it climbing into the boat did it occur to him it could of climbed up his pole?Or did it occur to him to move the boat.Did you see how that rattler was aggressively trying to hide it's head under it's coils? Rattles seem to hold some kind of fascination for people.I...

a few days ago i saved three turtles in the space of two miles.a snapper a painted and an eastern mud,all near mauricetown

Instead of Cyclops I'd of named her Nosclops for one nostril.

and if you flip it over you should be able to tell by the plastron.Males have an indentation usually to keep them from rolling off while they engage in the turtle version of the wild thing.Female plastrons are of course flat.I don't know as this effect is so pronounced in other turtle species...

I disagree with the map.I think Rattlers come much further south then the map shows.They were found along union lake into the 80's.When 55 was built through vineland in 72 the snaks had to cross the new highway from their den to get to the maurice river and follow that to the lake and they...

of all my four rattler encounters only one acted aggressively and I had just run over him.Didn't hit him of course but I thought he was a stick till he reared in a defensive S posture.I slammed on breaks admidst a cloud of dust and when I went back to see if my worst fears were confirmed he was...

sounds to me like he pinned it's head and picked it up,then stupidly allowed the snake to wrap around his arm with it's tail which it then promptly used for leverage and yanked it's head out of his grip and then turned and sunk it's fangs into his arm. Always hold the tail with the other hand...

I bow to the turtle master,Dragoncoj. I'm glad that I did not take a pee in front of this turtle thinking it was a Dude:-)

nice thistle and day littly! Is that the Canon macro?also like the shack on the crik behind the strip.Has that old bay feel.

tick free for at least a year! Love to get in a burn while the stumps and occasional tree are still burning.No place safer to be then behind the blaze.

yes Chris. Guy is spot on.red eyes are males and yellow or gold for females.some males eyes are more orange then red. Al

I am assuming you want to go the legal route here.Back in the day i would canoe and throw up camp anywhere I chose as long as i was sequestered from prying eyes but but of course being much older and wiser now I would never do that:-) Anyway going the legal route you will have to canoe one of...

I'll have to historical aerial it and look for old survey junctions:-) Al

try driving in Dharan Saudi Arabia.No license needed.Have you ever seen a ten year old whip a pickup truck out of a five ton that you happen to behind the wheel of.As long as he is a male it is perfectly legal but a full grown woman best not be caught behind the wheel of any vehicle.Of course...

looks like after my crawl or I have a rub on tan below the elbows.

once while swimming/walking and wading out to egg island point the diamondbacks were so thick I was walking on their carapaces crossing the streams and had to actually play hopscotch to keep from walking on them on land.They were coming out of the bay by the thousands onto the beaches to lay...

I'm taking a wild guess here but is that the brick chimney in mays landing or actually just east of the mays landing border and north of route 40 and visible from the road?I never got up close to that because it is on private property and visible from at least one dwelling and visible from the...

I have quite a few stories of adventures an misadventures.I'd say my best barrens story is totally unprintable,my pine barrens brethren would appreciate it no doubt and I've never told it to them but I fear it would offend the more sensitive folks in print or orally. I still have some funny...
