I found this bag the other day in the woods near my home. It collapses to a flat panel and opens to a 24" high x 24' x 18" bag with multiple heavy duty hand loops. Each panel zips at the top for insertion of a rigid panel. It is very well made and has three QR codes on it. I checked multiple...

An article about the very sad, drug-related death of a woman and the cold, heartless treatment she received after her death by two cold, heartless people. Why did they chose Purgatory Road ? I don't think they were practicing Catholics. In Catholic theology, purgatory (Latin: Purgatorium, via...

I never thought my love of crabbing would ever be threatened by anything. Actually it still isn't. Contracting this horrible bacterial disease seems to be a very remote possibility. https://www.nj.com/cumberland/index.ssf/2018/07/man_battling_to_all_his_keep_limbs_from_flesh-eati.html

At least Murphy took a few minutes off from signing new gun bills. http://nj.gov/governor/news/news/562018/approved/20180618c_reptile.shtml?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

When I got home from work on Tuesday night my neighbor told me that he had a huge snake in his front yard just before I got home. He snapped a picture before the snake went on his or her way. I'm certainly no expert but it looks like a pine snake to me. I've been living here 34 years and that is...

Well if one thing is for sure, I can always procrastinate tomorrow. I finally got around to toying around with Phone Scope at Cape May this weekend. I think I have only had it for a year now. I am very pleased with the results. I am using a Redfield 20-60x x 80mm spotter and an iPhone 6. The...

I apologize if anyone thinks inverted photographs are stupid but I enjoy looking at them. So there ! This was taken today a few miles east of Dutchtown today. It was one of the quietest days in the woods that I could remember. No wind, overcast skies and glass calm waters.

Was running the dog tonight just after sunset and stopped at the local bog. The sky and partially frozen bog surface were beautiful so I grabbed my phone for a few pics. As I framed the picture I noticed a wake. I thought maybe woodies since I flushed three near this spot last night but it was...

I had mentioned before that Y-Buc Bill talked of purchasing permits to deer hunt from the Wharton Estate caretaker Leeson Small prior to the State acquiring Wharton's holdings. Bill told me he was going to look for an old permit but I don't believe he ever found one. Through the power of Google...

Yesterday my good friend and mentor for all things outdoors, Bill Schemel, a.k.a. Y Buc Bill on this site, passed away at the age of 92 after a brief fight with cancer. I will miss him dearly. He was like a grandfather to me and I have been his friend since for over 32 years. Bill sat next to me...

Certainly of interest to Guy and Al and hopefully to others as well. This stone is on the line dividing Camden and Burlington County and the Townships of Evesham and Berlin. It is also near the border of the Pinelands jurisdictional boundary for Berlin Township. It stands nearly 3' tall and...

Not quite Pines related but most certainly an influence on Nature and the Environment. Awesome. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12772

Received this memo in work today through an indirect channel and thought it was worth sharing here. It actually makes a lot of sense. The Camden County Freeholders are preparing to appoint a new representative to the Pinelands Commission. This is a great opportunity to get someone who is...

For those who may be interested. We are probably going to drag my grandson Luke through the woods for awhile to get him all chiggered up. :) Gotta start him sometime. Strangely, non-profit groups are eligible to receive $10.00 per participant. :eek: They lost me on that one. I hope by...

Did a little freezer cleaning last week and I placed some unwanted vittles in the woods for the timid woodland creatures to enjoy. The coyotes were very appreciative. The first on the scene was Friday at 2:01 a.m. Soon, a party of 4 were dining happily. Later that day, two returned at 6:50 p.m...

Not in the Pines but still noteworthy. A beautiful piece of land folded into the existing Cohansey River Wildlife Management Area. http://www.nj.gov/dep/newsrel/2017/17_0074.htm

Interesting that participation in the exploration is welcomed. http://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/2017/06/13/james-still-site-medford-hosts-archaeological-dig-summer/389315001/

Winslow PD buys an ATV for enforcement and goes right to work ! http://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/crime/2017/05/31/winslow-police-crack-down-crime-quarry/357303001/

First saw this on the Motor Vehicle Access of NJ Facebook page. The canoe rental concession inside the Atsion Rec area is allegedly being threatened with having their contract yanked by the State. It allegedly has something to do with a very nearby Adventure oriented business in the Pinelands...

My wife and I pulled a road kill deeper into the woods last Thursday and put a camera over it to watch the transformation. Vultures found it immediately as expected but tonight, a bald eagle just a few minutes before I pulled the camera. He was there several times today. I would have thought he...
