there is a bald eagle in the parker preserve that likes to sit in a large dead tree in back of a mostly dry resevoir to the west of 563.he will let you get nowhere near him,binoculars are a must.if you get closer then 300 yards he's outta there. Al

immediately north of the tracks huh?there may be hope for some foundations I've missed.most of the gravel pit operations are south of the tracks.old cape may avenue is several miles northeast of halburton,this cape may avenue I'm unfamiliar with,perhaps just a small local street.the way to cape...

sounds like an old woman screaming? cats and chickens being killed? sounds like a barn owl to me. Al

it's where the old railroad grade crosses hunters mill road.definitely was a way station on the railroad at one time.about a half mile from the road there are ruins that appear to have possibly been a station for the railroad.any house ruins have obviously been destroyed by the later gravel...

I read the book "Alive" when I was in Desert Storm,it was in a box of freebies.This seems to be even nastier.actually plotting to kill each other for food? In Alive they at least waited till people died to eat them.

Momma santa claus has mentioned this very item to me before.I'll have to remind her of it.She will probably make me perform the drying operation outside,momma sez swamp and my feet do not mix well:-) Al

look on aerials for gravel pits,they have some of the biggest mud holes in them,also aerials will show flooded roads.bing aerials are great for finding flooded roads and ponds in gravel pits.try not to go in pits thats are obviously not mudded in because they may be habitats for endangered...

Jim, many of the concretes along the wharton border we have been finding out are underground.Some of these we've found by poking the ground,many others we can't find.Some have accompanying stones many of which are also buried but many don't.As Guy said the woods all in this area are...

Nice meetin you too Karl. By the way those woods behind us are not nice! barefoot in novemeber.now if that ain't a flatwoods hillbilly I don't know what is.got my boots on the roof to dry on the way home(redneck boot dryer) but it doesn't work too well when the temp is below 60.been two...

that water was quite cold.I think it's time to break out the hip waders. Guy what do you think a person would think if they ever came up on us on our hands and knees frantically stabbing the earth with pocket knives and upon questioning us as to our quest we answered we were looking for a...

I'd say bob is right.looks like tulip poplar to me.large straight trunk.High enough above the river to be anything.Red maple can grow anywhere,hydric,xeric or mesic sites though they prefer hydric and mesic.I think poplar would prefer mesic which that appears to be.have never seen them...

i know my trees pretty well but don't know the precise spot in question.if they are growing down near water and are deciduous and large they are probably either red maple or black gum/tupelo trees.if they have white splotches mixed win with a very smooth bark they are sycamore.I doubt they are...

driving is about the only thing I'm against as far as hunting goes.I don't think it's very sporting to sit over a bait pile and shoot a hungry deer but if your in it for the meat and not to call yourself a sportsman then get that deer whatever way you can but driving is out and out dangerous,at...

ifn you wants real big deer come on down to cumberland county and hunt the deer that live out on the islands in the salt medders.them slat medder deer is some big.all the hay they be eatin and they thinks hunters cain't gits to em and most truthfully are too lazy to bother.If you has a boat or...

Your right about the remoteness of getting caught in a drive in the Barrens but down here in the millville (bevan) wma it's another story.If you go out in the woods on the six day season around here you are very likely to get caught in a drive if you don't pay attention and confrontations with...

Scott I have been told by hunters repeatedly that I should be wearing blaze orange and have even been threatened with the law.I believe the law says if you are hunting you have to wear orange and since i am not hunting i am exempt but on the other hand it would be safer for me to do so but then...

yes the walk is half the fun.Those last stones I went to find out by that nice little bog.that bog was a real treat and unexpected since i didn't do my proper homework but only quickly scanned the black and white aerials.if i had birds eyed the area I'd have noticed the bog.also i came in from...

I have and I'm sure you have to on various occasions found some very interesting plants growing in the woods.fertilizer bags and gallon jugs are a sure tip off to start looking.These plants usually grow within a short walk of a water source and show signs of possibly being planted by humans.They...

is there truly a place in the pines you haven't been to Guy? :-)That dock in the water is what intrigued me in the aerial.it does look like a good place to take a dip. Al

thats what i was thinking:-) check it out this winter.hit it up this summer:-) Al
