    Protecting wildlife is working. Perhaps too well

    There are more opportunities to hunt in N.J. right now then there have ever been in the history of regulated hunting. Deer can be hunted from September to February and in many zones the the take is unlimited antlerless. Wild turkey were reintroduced in the late 1970's and have taken hold very...

    What an Hour in The Pines

    I checked out Mr. Turtle today an he was missing 1 1/2 feet and a head. He has been an ex-turtle for a while apparently, as his shell was pretty light and hollow. My wife and I and the dog walked the dike all the way out and found old remains of two very small deer up on the dike in two...

    What an Hour in The Pines

    I am going back there late this afternoon with the boots and I will report back on the turtle. I would love to get another look at the eagle. The tundra swans have been there all this week and they are a nice addition too. Scott

    What an Hour in The Pines

    Yesterday I took my nightly walk in Wharton, a chunk of which is located across the street from my house. I live near a series of abandoned bogs. My wife and I see deer and an occassional fox fairly regularly when we walk. Last night it was just me and my dog and I decided to walk one of the...

    Fish Ladder in the Pines

    They don't call me the King of the Internet for nothing. Actually no one calls me that except my wife. Here is a link to the whole history of the ladder project. http://www.fws.gov/northeast/njfieldoffice/Coastal%20Award/18OCT2005.html Enjoy. Scott

    Fish Ladder in the Pines

    Puppyland was the name of a kennel and pet shop that stood in the location of the current Gloucester Township Hider Lane Senior Center. It is on Hider lane and sits on the lake that you are referring to. I used to bass fish their in the early 80's. Puppyland closed in the 1970's and did not...

    No More Carcasses

    Nuff said. I have no problem with the rule Ben and I appreciate everything that you do and the costs you incur to provide this website and the photo forums that go with it. We have beaten this horse to death. (I'll just be sure I don't post a picture of it) :mrgreen: Scott

    No More Carcasses

    I think a class trip to a slaughter house would be pretty disturbing for young children. At the same time, I think a child needs to learn where the greasy cheeseburger or Chicken Mcnugget tucked into his Happy Meal box really came from. For that matter, most adults would benefit from that kind...

    No More Carcasses

    I read Ben's post of 3-10-06 under the Rules section regarding posting of photos posing with carcasses and I could only think of one guy to whom that may pertain. That would be me. Ben said he doesn't have a problem with hunters or hunting but finds photos of people posing with carcasses...

    More spotters

    I was back out in Friendship yesterday and me and the wife saved a spotted turtle from being a saily turtle. He was walking right down the midlle of the gravel road just north of the foundations. Picked him up , the dog gave him a sniff and I put back along the edge of the swamp. Probably...

    Ruffed Grouse

    In Pa. they seem to eat mostly seeds from shrub and grass growth. They also seem to hang around groves of hemlock, where they typically roost. I suppose the best one could hope for would be that they eat a few hemlock cones and their turds would smell like hemlock when lit. I think I'll pass...

    Unexpected Road

    Buena Vista Township is in fact the pines. It is part of the Pineland National Reserve and under the jurisdiction of the Pinelands Commission as far as development regulation. Take a ride in off of Leghorn or Jackson and head east. You'd swear you were around Chatsworth. A lot of woods for a...

    Ruffed Grouse

    I haven't seen one since the mid to late 80's either in the pines. When I first moved to Pestletown in '83, I could flush 2-3 birds every time I walked a mile or so along the edge of the cedar swamp across from my house. I actually tried to train my first springer on them with a little...

    Headed Out to Friendship 3-5-06

    The thing that looked "off kilter" with these two was that the old guy was dressed very neatly, almost like a hefty L.L. Bean poster boy, while the younger guy looked like he just pulled the rear out of a dump truck. They didn't look like best buds or father and son. Anywho, I really want...

    Headed Out to Friendship 3-5-06

    Steve The banjos were definitely playing in my wife's head. When we got to the SWesternmost corner of the bogs, she kept looking over her shoulder thinking we were being tracked. She started calming down when I expalined that we didn't have to out the way we came in. I want to return later...

    Headed Out to Friendship 3-5-06

    Well Steve, now I know why you like Friendship so much. I could spend a month back there. Actually, I think I could live back there. We got there at one and left at around 5. We hit some of the more remote spots by following the dikes out to the west and then headed south. We ran into a...

    Headed Out to Friendship 3-5-06

    Last minute outing today 3-5-06. Headed out to Friendship Bogs to do come caching with the wife and dog. We'll be there by 1:00 p.m. If you see a Red F-350 flag me down, or if you see two people and a springer walking, run us over. :) I will try and post some photos later. Scott
