“The message was: ‘We’re protecting this area; it’s off limits. Eatontown, Monmouth County, NJ
Head to a local park or just walk around your neighborhood. Phil Murphy signed a bill last week to cut the hours of up to 100,000 public workers.
Looking on the Division of Fish & Wildlife web site is says that the range is closed to shotguns (#4 shot and smaller) but it looks like it's open to archery, muzzleloaders, shotguns with buckshot or slugs, rimfire, and air rifle.
That, Howell says, is the fault of the DEP which caved in to a storm of protest against the M.A.P. My first stop was to explore the ruins off High Bridge. Posted August 30, 2017 I was told that the range at Colliers Mills was completely closed.
We just need to know about them! The division hopes to relocate the shotgun range to a new upland area adjacent to the existing range. If we are missing any, please In 2014, we visited the WILD Outdoor Expo that took place in Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area (New Egypt, Ocean County). “He was revving up behind me in the mud puddles as I was leaving, getting way too close then pulling off. Know your limits... go out in groups... bring water/snacks... Then as I was turning to go to Whitesbog village, he sped up and rammed the back of the truck.”Howell said the truck had no license plates that he could call in to the police, and that he wasn’t going to get out of his pickup to confront the driver because he feared the consequences.“That guy could have done anything he wanted to at that moment and there would have been absolutely no way for me to have any recourse,” he said.Meanwhile, privately owned tracts also struggle to keep ORVs out.
The seemingly endless woods of New Jersey’s Pinelands stretch away in all directions, harboring birds, deer, snakes, frogs and other wildlife, but apparently no people or their vehicles.That’s because Jemima Mount — just a wooded hump about 50 feet above the forest floor and six miles down sandy tracks from the nearest paved road — was declared off limits three years ago to dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles, and pickup trucks after years of being a favorite target for off-road scrambling that left it deeply rutted, badly eroded, and littered with trash.Crucially, the drivers have been kept away by stout wooden gates that block access to the site on three sides, and which have proved effective deterrents to off-road vehicles (ORVs) since being built in 2016 by volunteers from Open Trails New Jersey, an outdoors group that otherwise advocates for Pinelands backroads to remain open. Dirt-bike riders approach a vehicle at Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area in Ocean County. So they must be met on their own terms, which is with the force of the law.
The dead snake, which had been radio-tagged, was found by researchers who tracked its movements outside the nest and then discovered its fate, he said.The snakes, which are also threatened by poaching for the pet market, are likely to breed and hibernate near the bike paths because they colonize the stumps that are created by the forest fire service when they clear fire breaks, DeVito said.
Many fences or barriers have been torn down; signs saying an area is closed to motor vehicles are ripped from trees, and newly planted trees have been uprooted, he said.“Any barrier that you put in, anything, will be pulled out, whether it’s a welded steel gate, whether it’s piles of stumps and logs, thick braided cable,” he said.
