    First Snow

    Bobpbx, I am a homeowner. I just don't worry about much, it's not in my nature. Think of me more as a merry prankster and that I try to be light hearted about a serious situation because I'm powerless to change it. I don't know why but I have always been this way.

    First Snow

    What will you take in trade?:) Honestly, the snow doesn't bother me at all nor does the cold, windy conditions. I am not looking forward to dealing with the horrible drivers that reside in the area tomorrow.

    First Snow

    There hasn't been a significant accumulation of snow since this afternoon, but the combination of snow and freezing rain is starting to take it's toll. The trees in the area still have most of their leaves and the added surface area for snow build up is causing branches to break and come in...

    Impassible roads

    I had questioned Teegate earlier in this thread about clay pipes that were exposed by the hurricane along the side of the road that runs through Hampton Park. We both saw them and never went further than agreeing that they were there. The pipes were along the edge of field in the second...

    First Snow

    My crossed fingers had very little effect. Ten minutes ago it went from a heavy rain and windy conditions to a quiet calm and heavy snow. It is sticking to everything but the road at the moment. If it keeps snowing like it is, by this evening, there will be several inches. The weather...

    An Education On Quail

    It is a call that is missed. There has been so much encroachment and loss of habitat in central New Jersey, that I don't think Bobwhites can have a come back. The southern section of the state hasn't experienced the building boom that this area has had. Most of the old farms are now...

    I have my fingers crossed that all we get is rain. ;)

    I don't think it is possible to get around the problem of leaf accumulation on the spikes. It is part of what you are doing. If you styled your spiked shoes closer to an ice crampon, it could slow the amount that is picked up. The wedges would be slower to pick up leaves. Either that you have...

    Shore Shot is open to the public and has walk-ons. I wasn't a member when I was shooting there. It was pricey, around eighty dollars for one hour and that included a rental fee, ammunition and a lane. The price of ammunition was most of the cost. It was beneficial for me because, I found out the...

    An Education On Quail

    I can not recall the last time I have heard a Bobwhite's distinctive call. It has to be over ten years, atleast. I have seen a few pen-raised birds that are in horrible shape, with large patches of feathers missing and a few unable to fly. I think over crowding and the netting over the pens was...

    Firearms

    If anyone just wants to go shoot for a few hours, many shooting ranges rent handguns and rifles. Two that I know off hand that do are Shore Shot in Lakewood and Bob's Little Gun Shop in Glassboro. 46er there are exceptions to the law for possesion of firearms by youths. The four are: supervision...

    The pumpkin in that photograph also set a new world's record. It was over one thousand eight hundred pounds!

    Yes, your photos will be hindered by the chain link fence. When we went last year we called and made reservations because it was during the week. Jim and Becky, who I think are the owners, gave a great tour that lasted a little more than an hour and a half. We were group together with a small...

    Wolves

    Can you imagine the sound of a wolf howling in the pines! I heard 'yotes singing away near Carranza one night and just thinking of it gave me goose bumps. It is a lovely sound to hear.

    Davenport Road

    I saw a Hovnanian preserve sign on the side of the road there today. It was on the right side coming from Rt 530 just past the shed set back from the road. A few cars and a Toms River regional school bus was parked on the left, closer to the retirement homes and students were tagging plants...

    I was just giving an example, 46er, of how "grey" and open to interpretation our gun laws are. I used my father's guns to hunt with as well until I was old enough to buy my own guns. That being said in New Jersey, when a person has the legal right to purchase a firearm and does so for the...

    New Jersey is a nanny state. It is illegal for a minor to possess a firearm, that is how the law is written. A BB gun is considered a firearm and you need a FID card to purchase one. If the BB gun is a pistol, a pistol permit is needed as well. What make it even worse is technically if I...

    Andrew Rider & Charles Wilkinson Stone

    Dr. Cunningham was a busy man. He was well experienced with gunshot wounds. He was also called to fix up the youth robber shot by the police officer in the first article, left of the Rider paragraph.

    The one firearm every thirty days regulation is only for handguns. If the regulations have changed recently, NICS didn't deny my latest purchase. I couldn't find purchase regulations on long guns on the NJSP website.
