    I assume that class at Stokes included evening pilgrimages to Brady's Pub? A Forestry Field Class tradition!

    Cable TV Problems

    Been very bad here lately. Some nights we've gotten less watchable channels than in the days before cable. My wife tried calling Comcast, which was an exercise in frustration. After doing a bit of online reserch I am considering getting one of those signal amps as well, and replacing the coaxial...

    Biggest flash-in-the-pan since Y2K!

    Weather on the way...

    I've sat out this season anyway due to an injury followed by surgery, but if you went out in this stuff you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din! In my youth, perhaps, but I'm gettin' too old! :)

    State considers 4 bills to expand hunting

    I also am not keen on the first proposal. While some may take the stance that the parent's duty and desire to train their child trumps that of the state, a poorly supervised and untrained youth with a firearm can be a danger to others as well as themselves, especially since hunters frequently...

    A Mink Caching Food w/Video

    Very cool! I often cite things such as this among the reasons I hunt. It's not so much about the kill, which is the tiniest part of the overall experience, but all the other things you witness that you would not likely see under any other circumstances.

    Jersey Devil Alternate Origin

    This has always been my theory as well. When one considers that the date most often given for the birth was a mere generation after the Salem witch hunts, and superstition was still very common, any child born with a mental or physical disability could have been susceptible to accusations of...

    Snapper Survey

    I've spoken to a few older men who used to trap them in our area but my impression was that this was a declining activity rather than an increasing one. I don't know this for a fact, but if that is indeed the case, I see no benefit from harrassing the participants in one more dying tradition...

    Duck and Cover Baby !

    Something is in season at any given time pretty much through the whole fall and winter, but the only time and place I would have even the slightest concern is during the week-long firearm deer season and the few pheasant and quail fields in WMAs that are heavily stocked. But if there was a real...

    I keep trying to fold up my digital maps when done with them.

    Atlantic County tax increase would bail out casinos

    I agree that this will do little to prevent the inevitable. The party has been over for AC's monopoly on gambling in this part of the country for a while now and nothing else they try to do there will draw the numbers that gambling once did. I rarely visit Atlantic City, but do spend quite a bit...

    Where is this?

    Is it on one of the dikes crossing the cranberry bogs on the North Br. Mt. Misery Brook?

    Proper Grammar

    Guy, it's those snooty Mac people you are associating with on that other forum that are the problem. Just stick with us Pineys! :)

    Will it be a white turkey?

    Cute pooch! Gotta love a retriever. They never complain about the weather either! :)

    Constitutional Rights

    I'm not sure how I feel about this. I do not agree with the editorial author regarding there being no credible threats to hunting or fishing. Hunting has long been under attack from individuals and groups with either animal rights or gun control agendas, even if largely unsuccessful to date. In...

    Knowing Where the Bodies Are Buried: An Excerpt From 'Lives in Ruins'

    Funny you noted that. My wife has stated several times that if she had it to do over again she'd go into forensics rather than nursing. Anything about forensics or real-life murders on tv has her glued to the set. I get a little worried sometimes. :rolleyes:

    Small game season opens...

    I have never been a fan of, or have participated in, put-and-take hunting. I'd love to see them release more birds AFTER the season, giving the ones that do survive nine months or so to become something resembling wild, if not native, birds.

    brookbrae question?

    If I was visiting the site for the first time I might be able to see the history through the grafitti but It's been almost thirty years since my first visit and I find it painful to view now.
