Bob The most common format for us land surveyors is degrees, minutes, seconds. Bearings contained in deeds and on survey documents use that format. Having your GPS set for degrees and minutes to 3 decimal places (deg,m.mmm) will yield accurate locations to input into mapping sites and...

I have seen a few piebald in Wharton. I saw an entitrely white deer a few years ago while spotting one night and one of my my sons got a crack at it later that season with his muzzleloader. He was so nervous when he saw it coming out of the cedars like a ghost that he shot under it. We had a...

Too late Bob. There is something to hunt in every month of the year; always has been. When I was a kid I literally hunted every day in the summer and every day I could after school. Crows and groundhogs are two of the huntable species that carry through the spring and summer every year. I...

Here is a quote from Bald Brad from yesterday after the decision was issued: Campbell emphasized that the Supreme Court's decision does not condemn hunting in any way. "It is a disservice to the court to suggest that they were in any way moved by political arguments," he said. "It would be a...

Here is a link from today's Courier Post. http://www.courierpostonline.com/news/southjersey/m111904f.htm Hopefully our new stand-in Governor has a bigger set of 'nads than our former embarassment and can reel in Campbell before he does any more damage. Scott :)

Here is a link to the latest on the bear hunt.Apparently the judge has some common sense. http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/newjersey/111704BEAR_N16.cfm If any one is interested, I can post a copy of Bob McDowell's letter to Cody. It's very informative and gives the history of the...

I guess she moved to Chatsworth for the bustling social life and the close-at-hand shopping opportunities. :p

Here is a link to a current article on WPVI.com It has a video of the bear trashing up the backyard along with the article and a near-tearful woman worrying about her kids getting eaten by wildlife. I don't know how long the link will last since the website gets updated a lot. Hurry up and...

I am going to do a brief presentation about the cleanup at the next Waterford Township Committee meeting on 11-10-04. I would estimate that 1/3 to 1/2 of that mountain of trash came out of Waterford Township, primarily off of Chew road and back here in Pestletown. I made 4 fully loaded trips...

Hey Ben! Maybe a lot of our members don't understand how ridiculous our ATV law really is. When I bought my quad 4 years ago, I looked into registering it . DMV has provisions in the law whereby you can register your ATV as long as you have liability insurance. Do you know what the...

What I have against Mr. Campbell, Bob, is that he is the first Commissioner and hopefully the last to want to dismantle the Fish and Game Council. The Council is comprised of 11 educated people that determine the seasons and bag limits each year for all game species. It just so happens that...

Actually hunting was always a part of the Wharton tract history and played a part in the push by the state to purchase the land. Back when the Wharton family controlled it, they issued hunting permits to anyone who wanted to hunt there. I have some old timer friends that used to get the...

Amen Wisbang. Many huggers and antis have probably never heard of the Pittman-Robertson Act adopted in 1937. It is an 11% federal tax that we as sportsmen pay that is built into the cost of every gun, every box of ammunition and every bow that is sold in this country! (And people complain...

Hunting is much more than a tool for population control. I've been a hunter for 37 of my 47 years and tagged along with my father a few years before I could legally carry a gun. I know that I have a deeper respect and understanding of the natural world than quite a few of the antis and...

My wife and I just got back from the cleanup and I think anyone who passes by Atsion within the next few days should stop and look at the amount of junk hauled out of Wharton and other local places. It is staggering. There are two full size roll-offs filled to overflowing, a mountain of tires...

Guy Did you get across Sleeper? Did you cross in the beginning using the beaver dam like you were talking about a few weeks ago? Scott

Hey Jersey Devil. How far do you guys range from Atsion for the cleanup? I live in Pestletown off Chew Road near the end of Pestletown Road where it enters Wharton State Forest. Its about 7 miles from the ranger station. The end of the road is slowly becoming a landfill. It's mostly little...

My wife and I were there. We go every year. It's always the Sunday in the third full weekend of October. It runs with the two day Chatsworth Cranberry Festival. It seems to be getting bigger every year. I am drawn to the hit and miss farm engines and the antique construction equipment and...

I am dyed-in-the-wool hunter but I have no interest in hunting bear. Never did. Where I hunt in NE Pa., bear are very common and I appreciate every opportunity I get to see them going about their business. When there is a sustainable population to hunt, I don't have a problem with a hunt. I...

I am going out on a limb here but I'll assume you have a computer since I read your post. If you use any search engine(Yahoo Google etc.) you can find the N.J. Division of Fish and Game's website. All regulations are published there. Here is a direct link to their site...
