I think the 1949 topo is just lazy cartography. From experience, I can say with confidence that although the entire area is certainly wet as s*it, it is broken up by stretches of uplands. See attached NJGeoweb screen capture.

Gabe is spot on with the borrow pit theory for gathering material to construct a stream crossing. That road shows up in the 1870 Vermeule maps as well. There are several of these pits in my neck of the woods, all dug in closely adjoining uplands to build stream crossings and dikes along the...

The only deer season open in that area is winter bow. Of course if you were acting like coyotes or fox there could have been issues. :)

Update: Nearly 4 years later, the ladder stand sections are still waiting on their owner to return in the exact position and condition in which Guy found them.. I was there yesterday looking for coyote and it really looks like the owner would be coming back tomorrow.

Bozarth is a very old name throughout the Tabernacle area. It seems that Bozuretown Road is an aka for Bozarthtown. I know a fellow surveyor who was licensed a little after me named Howard J. Bozarth who is based in Tabernacle.

Nice work Guy and Jess!

I told you my memory is aging. Here is thread from 2007 when EHD was bad along the Mullica. https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/dead-deer-in-the-mullica.3962/#post-39153

Jon, I think the dips 2011-2013 could be attributed to a wave of EHD. I don't remember the exact years but it was bad in my area of Wharton about 10 years ago, based on my aging memory.

I can judge the humidity by the texture of my Burley tobacco leaves in my garage. This morning I was putting something away and leaves were limp and soft to the touch. When humidity drops, they get as crisp as a potato chip. It likes heat and higher humidity during the color curing but then...

I sent you and Guy the Lat/Lons for your rear corners calculated form the Geoweb as a start. If you can find the handheld, you can start with those points.

I once worked on a survey prepared by Conrad Thies who apparently prepared the subdivision plan fom which your lot was created. It was on Turtle Creek Road and man, were those "inaccessible" corners inaccessible !! Most were under water. In your case, as Guy said, he can work with Lat/Lon if...

Happy New Year Boyd! Thank you for every thing that you do and the help that you have given me over the years !

I think about it every day Guy. I’m spending every minute I can in the woods. I’m at my little spot again tonight. A little more comfortable than Saturday night when it was 12 degrees.

Standers aren’t standing very long. Typical pines drive 45 minutes to an hour on the big pieces. Then the standers become the drivers on the next one. Old guys or disabled guys get to be permanent standers.

Guy, Oriental is dead on. Club hunters who are the "standers" in a deer drive often clear the area where they stand to minimize any crunchy leaf noises while they are on stand. It allows them to make minor adjustments in their shooting position without making any noise. It's evident after 6 day...

I love them. I used to make them for myself for lunch when I was a teenager. Sweet pickle juice mixed into the filling is my secret ingredient.

They were the best Ed. My father loved them and we always had OTC's in the house. We ate them plain as a snack and put them in my mother's or my grandmother's homemade oyster stews and clam chowders. Apparently the originals have been gone for awhile but were picked by another company...

He will probably return to the camp on his own if he’s in the woods right now. The wind is howling.

How did Taber fare ? :D
