i used to have a pet hognose that occasionally ate the toads backwards like this garter snake is doing.I hated it when she did that because you could hear the toad scream till she got the head in.They go down much easier head first.Hognose will eat nothing but toads where garter are...

46 er those tanks have holes in them and anything noxious is long gone.their virtually full of sand now and had pools of water in them.no doubt they afford cover to fich and crabs at high tide and their may have been something lurking in there back where i couldn't see at low tide.yes their...

the deer flies pretty much left me alone.They like Philly cheesesteak over a maurice river mud pie anyday.My especially tuned ears could hear them screaming their high pitched yell across the medder."shooby over here,shooby over here" They knew most of my blood was gone from years of being...

I've been going to UP michigan the last few years and have grabbed a chunk of the birch fungus every year.It's supposed to be the prime piston tinder but I still can't get the thing to even get it warm. I had trouble with the bow drill for years till I learned the Chatburn notch.the notch and...

I've been watching this since the beginning.it just finished last night.yes it does illustrate that it is very hard to make it from scratch,even with a group.the winners I never would of picked.the first two out i thought would be the winners.of course one of the winners had to be flaky,thats...

last fall Guy ,Jess and I were finding box turtles out the wazoo,their definitely not endangered and neither are spotteds.I agree with Dragon,it's a tool to get more money but it's also a potential tool to protect/condemn land so it can't be developed.I like protecting land but I hate the lying...

well as to the wild dog packs i have never run into any all my years in the woods.ran into what may have been one wild dog once miles from anywhere rumaging through a trash pile and when i walked up he growled at me.when i proceeded to close in on him he turned tail and ran.I really can't see a...

I took Tom's standard course back in 86 when it was 400 bucks.I was not impressed.He is quite the civilized chain smoker and I don't mean out of a clay pipe.he puffs marlboro all day long.He was in quite good shape them,he lifted out by the barn off and on all day.steel york weights of course.by...

next time we can hit the big gums and maples (their bigger then the beeches) and the old blue hole which is quite beautiful and if you want to hit the purtiest barrens in jersey I'll take you there too if you like open heather studded barrens though the heather is probably starting to wane...

Guy, Malathion will kill the aphids.They suck plant juices and are harmful to any plant they infest.Of course malathion is a poison.Ladybugs are their natural predator and can be ordered via mail if you don't have enough present naturally.The problem is you can pay for them then dump them on...

Mrs. Muskin sez I'm the best Willie Wonker in the swamp!

I was on the irritated side because i thought it was the kids wanting to whine to mom about something.Usually when a call comes in after nine it's a kid with an &$$ ache and they want mom to message it.Once i found out it was you i became less irritated and slightly amused at your one grey...

i believe the snake is real and yes the picture with the blueish eyes is a snake getting ready to shed.the brille cap over the eye fills with fluid just before shedding which gives it a blue color.they will clear immediately prior to shedding.snakes prior to shedding are especially irate.Their...

Keep Buddy away from that one.without medical attention that critter has a 50% chance of killing a grown man.Would make short work of Buddy if he didn't dispatch on the first bite. Al

the bear swamp would be a good contender as the largest swamp 9non cedar) if the sand plants hadn't of mined a swath right across the center of it.it was originally 5.7 mi long by 2.0 mi wide and it is mostly maple,gum beech.it now has the east and west swamp both about 1 and three quarter mile...

I would have to go with Great swamp of Sleeper creek fame.I have just scanned all of south jersey and while there are swamps bigger then the great swamp all of these are predominately maple.the great swamp cedars section of it not including medders or pine swamp is 2.2 miles northeast to...

your right Guy I do need a hat.I have been having trouble getting accurate gps readings lately and assumed it was the solar cycle peaking that was wreaking havoc with the satellite signals but I've now come to the conclusion it's my chrome dome.The sattelites are bouncing signals off by top knot...
