Like those socks tommy? you should have seen my when mom sent me to school. I think there were a couple of times when she sent me in white patten leather shoes with matching belt..:D

I havent trapped in a couple years since pop got sick. The few years before that I would set a trap line we would check together. 3 years ago we set a trap line for beaver at picatinny and limited out.. It was a nice year.

My favorite picture ever. I just wish I'd had not gutted him first, what a tummy he had. Chemically tooth aged by layer, he was 4.5 years old.
The picture was "washed out", amazing what todays software can do.

Cool stuff Wink, I have most of all the licenses I've had, but I don't have the bow and shotgun safety certificate, which is the ones I should have saved.

Houndawgg, I had the same problem. Initially, when I started hunting, they took your safety course card when you got your first license as proof, instead of just writing the number down, so I didn't have mine either. I called Trenton, and if you can give them the year you took it, and the instructors name, they will look through their paper trail, and send you a duplicate. I called them about 3 years ago on this, well they went through their paper records back to 1965, found that I took the courses, and mailed me duplicate cards.

Thanks for the heads up Wink, I took the bow and archery either 63 or 64. It seems to change with seasons as to what one has to do.
I had planned on sending in the completed safety book last year, but never took the time to do it. I heard if I did that, if I brought a previous license to the shooting qualification part of it, the instructor would issue my certificates.
Someday between deer and turkey season, I may take a ride to Trenton Headquarters and see if I can "get lucky".

Here's an event I forgot all about.
In May of 74, the state asked JCP&L to help with the transplanting of Ospray eggs from Maryland that were fertile. They would remove the nonfertile NJ eggs and replace them with good ones.
This was the first time it ever was done and was sucessfull.
The nest was on top of a fire watch tower on Island Beach State Park. I worked for the power company and the highest reaching bucket truck the company had happened to be in Allenhurst, were I worked.
I took the biologest, who was a girl named "Teddy", up in the 60ft. boom and she replaced the eggs.
We went back a few weeks later and memory tells me that the three eggs hatched, but one chick was dead.
The two others made it and as far as I remember they grew up.
That was the begining of bringing back the Osprey to NJ.


The chicks are camoed in the center of the nest.

this is my first buck ever. Got him in PA in 1994 (I was 12) at first light on opening day (which was a rainy one) I was shooting a Ruger 250 savage with 100 grain winchester silvertips...dropped him in his tracks!

Image

this is my first rack buck that I got in PA in 1996. Again first light, opening day withthe same rifle...double lunger

Image

this is my first doe from 1996. This was the first day of doe season in the afternoon...the temp was -20. This is also the day i almost fell out of the tree trying to get into the box stand.
