The Youth Days are one of the best things that NJ F&W has done in my 54 years of hunting. It is harder now than ever to get kids involved in the outdoors and giving them a day to themselves improves their chances of being successful and hopefully remaining life-long hunters. Here is my youngest...

I remember the gravestone Guy. My wife and I visited that cemetery in the late 1970's on motorcycles before we were married. I remember thinking the name Manassas was really cool. If I recall correctly, it was not a very old stone like one would expect. It seemed like it had been replaced. Hard...

1967? Holy Schmoly ! Were dinosaurs roaming the camp at which you worked at that time ? :p

My father stayed there in Ockanickon in the 1920's. He was born and raised in North Camden and it was quite a culture shock for him. My sister has a letter he sent home to his mother (my grandmother) asking her to come get him ! When was the name of the camp changed ? Please don't tell me that...

It is Bob. You can park vehicles on the east side of the river wherever you can find a spot and walk right to the site. I hiked in from Batsto back in '79 for an overnight stay when I was in college with two college buddies. They were both from congested areas of North Jersey and you would...

After two days of applying rust remover jelly, vigorous wire brushing and wire wheeling, I got to see some good metal. I also got all three brass scale pins moving freely. Not quite what I was hoping for because I could not find a manufacturer's name on the base of the blade. My wife thought I...

I've been through that site many times over the years John and I still haven' been able to figure out the hole with all of the vertical timbers. One of the Rusnaks told me a local tale of the people who used to live there that is very chilling, if it is true. Good campfire story:eek:. The family...

I just got back from a job in a stripped old field and I told the guy with me that we are both probably going to get chigged. No spray in my truck right now and I’m usually not thinking about chiggers on November.

I don't think China's quality has spiraled down Bob, it was never there to begin with. I do everything possible to avoid buying Chinese anything. The Chinese are not our friends.

I would say that it was there for a very long time. The scales, which are what you grip on a knife, are long gone and only the pins that held them in place are in the handle. My guess is that it had wooden scales that long ago rotted and then burned away. If it had synthetic scales, I think...

Here it is. A hunting knife minus its grip materials and minus most of its blade. It was probably used to pry something and then it snapped. It was just sitting there in the dirt near our lunch spot.

Beavers will be beavers. Words to live by. :) I applied for trapping permits this year for the second time. The first time I applied for two zones and didn't get either one. I don't know why they are so restrictive. I have a few 330's but I have never set for beaver yet. Off topic, I love 539...

Interesting that the hunter's pee bottle is still hanging in the stand. :D

That's about the same number of people who participated in the meeting.:(

I completed the survey tonight and delineated all of Wharton as an area important to me. F'em.

Very strange circumstances.

Those are the legislators for my Township. I have met both Umba and Torrissi. Good guys.

I just had an epiphany. History does indeed repeat itself.! Many of you will recall the late Y-Buc Bill from this site who was a very good friend of mine. Bill spent more years tooling around in Wharton than most of will actually live on this earth. He was one of the first enduro riders...

Attendance was abysmal. Teams is also abysmal. It sounds like requiring permits to use the "unimproved roads" (whatever they are) are almost a foregone conclusion on the State's end. This isn't going to end well for we, the proletariats. :(
