    That reminded me of a squirrel running up my arm though no ladder involved.I was about 14 and playing basketball at the union lake court before the tornado back in the early 80's blew the steel racks and poles to the ground.I seen a squirrel go into a city trash can with no lid so I snuk over to...

    In my experience Troopers are much more honest and uncorrupted then the small town cops.I know from personal experience Millville has a few crooks and punks on the force.Have never been treated bad by a trooper,maybe a little suspicious but never disrespectful like the local punks around here.

    That is odd 46er, I have never seen greys eat cones while I have seen reds tear em up and reds seem to be more prevalent in the pines while greys are in the oaks but if you say greays are eating cones it must be so.Have they taken to sassing you like reds definitely would? Al

    Whip I'm trying to figure out whose lif or property they were trying to protect along sandy ridge road?No one has lived within miles of that area since Friendship was abandoned in the 70's. Now I can't see how anyone could argue that controlled burning is better for the ecology of the Barrens...

    All I know Local is what you post and hesitate to make judgements based on that but in defense of the man your bashing here I seriously doubt you have an inkling of the knowledge of the Barrens this man has.When it comes to history and geographic layout of the barrens he can be matched by very...

    I have a lec of maybe five peepers across the street from my house.I have no idea where the water is they call from but their there every year.It's yards and houses and small woodlots all over here so they may be in a stump or a bird bath?They will call right down to 40 degrees.Such is the lure...

    no doubt red squirrels.They leave piles of cones (middens) generally on logs,stumps or any place of vantage where they can get a view though they will eat them on the ground too.Grey squirrels like oaks and acorns better.I once had a red squirrel sell me a tremendous amount of crap from a dead...

    Dragon, Actually we would become an Oak/Hickory forest here.Too xeric for maple.You may be thinking of the beech/maple forests of the piedmont and moister slopes of the mountains and yes wildfire does open up the canopy which pine snakes and gravid rattlers love,prescribed burns do not damage...

    Not all pine cones need fire to open.Check your ecology books.Only serotinous pitch pine as those found in the Plains need fire to open,the normal pitch pine cones will open just fine without fire after two to three years on the tree though fire will coax them into opening immediately after the...
