Very nice gents. I am sorry I couldn't make this one. My son Jeff and I got a brief look at the area on Friday while doing some scouting for quacker spots. Visiting the Sleeper is always a winner in my book.

This probably happened this past spring but I found out the hard way today while travelling to a hunting spot. The major pipe crossing on the way to Batsto just southeast of Wescoat Bogs is now impassable. It is at N39d 41.671min x W074d 41.394 min The stream overcame both sides and the top...

It was good to get back into the big woods after the long hiatus since the May trip. Chris put together a killer hike and we saw a lot of remote country that few have ever tread. The cedar swamp stretch in the afternoon damn near killed me as I struggled to keep up with the hippers holding me...

Better wear a hard hat and eye protection. :) Oldmans is one of the most popular south zone duck hunting areas in NJ and the first part of the split season will be in full swing tomorrow.

It's a black and white and most of the time black, 1 year old male springer. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but there appears to be more wood ducks in the pines this year than in any year in my somewhat aged memory.

Yes sir it is. Used to be some of the best duckin' around. A sad but awesome sight to see it in its blown-through state. I remember setting a dozen and a half dekes or more in some of the ponds that were there. It really needs a busload of beavers to be dropped off with some good maps to...

hEY dAVE, CHECK YOUR cAP lOCKS ! :)

My son and I took the dogs out for a run tonight and for a change of scenery, we checked an old bog area I used to duck hunt quite a bit in the 80's and early 90's. My son wanted to scope it out for this coming weekend but I didn't hold much hope since I stopped hunting it few years back due...

Yes it's the Motts Creek Inn. It's got a lot of character. Makes for a good motorcycle ride from my house.

Yaaargh matey !!

I was down Mott's a few weeks ago for the 19th annual Mott's Creek Crab tournament (my son won by the way). While we were out on the water, I saw what I believe to be some very fine backwoods kayak ingenuity. I didn't have my camera but a friend took a regular picture of it in the parking lot...

A nice little dinner with some good people and a good start to the weekend. Thanks.

Whoooaaaa! That's a beauty for the pines Chris. Need any help tagging him ? :)

While some zones opened a few weeks ago, the rest of the State opens this weekend. http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/news/2010/fallbow10.htm This should be an interesting season in suburbanized areas with the new reduced bow perimeter of 150'. I believe a lot of phone calls will be made to...

It is very obvious to me that you need a new cardiac doctor. Please have your current doctor read this immediately: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/08/13/earlyshow/health/main518587.shtml or this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-832/Beer-good-heart.html or this...

Nice report and happy birthday. I really like the Batsto river in the vicinity of the lake. There is a real mixed bag of fish in that area including bass, crappie, pickerel and catfish. Caught my personal best pickerel there about 20 years ago.

In defense of legitimate sportsmen Bob, could it have been this privately owned rifle range known as the Sewell Rifle and Pistol Club that you heard ? Not far at all from where you were. http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/index.php#lat=39.73745532657015&lng=-74.7024393081665&z=15&type=h&gpx=

My son has a connection with a guy that handles a lot of used decoys. We bought some really nice flocked GHG goose field decoys and some floaters from him last winter. I will have my son call him to see what he has. The guy is in Woolwich. Scott

We'll be there Sunday. I haven't missed many over the years.

Very nice nice trip there boys. It was a great day to be in the woods or anywhere outdoors yesterday. I'll always remember those ore beds from the Dutchtown hike a few years ago. Is it my imagination or are the chiggers somewhat tolerable this year ? Did you guys get loaded up ?
