Gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, bleach or any nasty harmful substance will do. The only trick is to apply it while they are still walking around on you within an hour or two of being infested..I scrub and scrape like crazy with alcohol immediately after being exposed and then take a hot shower...

I noticed the same thing this year. The wild highbush blueberries didn't seem to produce this year at all. I too have a couple of good spots around Parkdale and they are sparse. Maybe it was the wet spring and summer? I did find a small area near my house where the lowbush are doing okay and I...

Well I spent an hour and half pitting those b stards one at a time but the finished product is looking real good. There has got to be a better way and a regular cherry pitter doesn't look it will handle the small wild ones. I used the link that Steve posted and used that recipe for cherry jam...

My wife and I just picked about 2 quarts of wild cherries in the woods near my house. It looks like a heavier year than normal.I left alot hanging. Instead of just sitting around eating them as a snack like we usually do, I wanted to try something different with them this time. Anybody know...

Fish Ladders Here is the NJDEP press release from this week about the proposed fish ladder at Batsto. There was also an article in the AC Press this week about the actual construction of the ladder having to match the rustic character of Batsto Village. The stages in the ladder are going to...

Reply to Guy; Yes Guy, that was Harry Torney. He moved to Pa. for awhile in the 80's with his parents but he is back in the area now. I saw him at a friends house about two years ago. I also was friendly with his brother Mike who was killed in a freak accident in an old Jeep Commando. Mike...

This post brings back a lot of good memories of an old 4x4 club that I used to hang with called the Mic-Mob in the Medford Lakes area circa 1982. Mic was short for Michelob which was the official club beer of choice. Occasional official meetings were at the Villa D on 206 (now Tabernacle Inn)...

I bought the magazine on Ebay after Teegate pointed it out. I was the only bidder at $5.00. I got it yesterday and its in new condition. Great pictures and article.

One of the most visible bloomers right now is Mountain Laurel. It is in full bloom this week in my neck of the woods. The hunter's lore is that this is when the whitetail deer start to drop their fawns. Sweet pepper is also flowering around the swamps right now as well. The bell shaped flowers...

The most common are the painted turtle and snapper around water and the box turtle on land. The painters are laying eggs in the sand roads around my house this week. I came across 3 egg burrows and one run-over painter in one stretch on Tuesday. NJ Fish and Wildlife publishes a field guide...

Barry If you haven't heard it yet get a copy of NJ Fish and Game's CD of frog calls. The sound quality is great and it covers all of our local species. The woman's voice that narrates the CD is mesmerizing as well. Here is the link to buy it...

The property is bl. 47 lot 4 in Shamong and is owned by Stephen Soviczky. It actually has a mailing address of 717 Quaker Bridge Road. He owns one other small floating lot that is detached from the dwelling. Last years taxes were $819.52. That's a steal in Shamong!

I forgot something else. The Camden County Prosecutor's office found the killlers of the man found in March on Chew Road. Two Mexican brothers from a trailer park on Williamstown Rd. in Winslow were arrested in April for the stabbing murder. They killed him in the woods right where he laid...

Sam Siligato, the owner of the Silly Gator, was just recently charged with having a large building torched to collect the insurance money .It involved some elaborate scheme, the details of which I can't recall. There was an article about it in the AC Press about 8 weeks ago. When they dug up...

The pine barrens are vast and you need to focus on a particular area that you are interested in for lat/lons. One of the easiest ways to obtain latitude and longitude geographicals for your gps unit is to use maptech.com. Go to "online maps" on their site and type in a location . Bring up...

I was supposed to hunt in Pa. this weekend but some family situations arose and I had to stick around here instead. I had a great morning in the woods yesterday right here listening to two gobblers responding to my mouth call at first light. They eventually "hung up" on me and I was left...

One of the most active fox hunters in the pines right now is Jake Meredith. He actually owns a vacant house that nobody has lived in since he bought it because he wanted the property only for his dogs. There are large kennels on the property that can house at least 100 foxhounds. He brings the...

You don't have too much to worry about with only one. They don't start snatch'in up the young'ins or them pesky cats till there's at least two or three together. If it looks like a slightly mangy, undersized, light colored German Shephard then you got coyotes. Really, don't worry. Scott

My father started me hunting when I was 8 in 1966 ; tagging along 2 years before I could get my first NJ juvenile hunting license. We used to hunt the areas between Atsion, Batsto and High crossing and I remember hearing the trains. I also remember my father drilling into my head "If you get...

Groundhogs A woodchuck and a groundhog are one in the same. NJ Fish and Wildlife uses the term woodchuck in the small game regulations. Believe it or not, in our over-regulated state you can still hunt woodchuck with a rimfire rifle, centerfire rifle or muzzleloader! There is a ton of...
