Had a blast spending my weekend fly fishing and camping with @_morgan_catherine . We kept well fed on campfire cooked trout. In New Jersey, it can be tricky to navigate fishing access between private and public land. Luckily, I had my @onxhunt app to provide me instant access to a map of public land ownership. So huge shout out to @onxhunt for keeping me on track and putting me on the fish! . . . . #FlyFishing #RainbowTrout #NewJersey #BackcountryHuntersandAnglers #Hunt2Eat #PublicLandOwner #onxmaps #maxcatchlifestyle #maxcatchmoments #maxcatchfishing

It’s finally here! Come join us for the first ever Backcountry Hunters & Angler’s New Jersey Pint Night Wednesday, July 25 at 6 p.m. at Pinelands Brewing in Little Egg Harbor. . New Jersey is one of just a few eastern states not covered by a BHA chapter. We’re going to change that and hope to gather support for a New Jersey chapter starting with this Pint Night. . BHA is the fastest growing sportsman’s group in North America. We advocate for public hunting and fishing lands and waters and we work to maintain and improve access to places to hunt and fish. We also speak up for wildlife, guided by the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and on sportsman's issues. Finally, we believe in and advocate for fair chase in pursuit of fish and game. If those ideals resonate with you, please come join us to learn more and become part of BHA. . . . #PublicLandOwner #KeepItPublic #BackcountryHuntersandAnglers #FlyFishing #njoutdoors

What you’re looking at here is the ONLY known bobwhite quail nest in New Jersey so far this year. I should also add that more will be on the way in the upcoming weeks. I work at a quail translocation site in NJ, making it the only population of wild birds in the state. I found this nest yesterday while monitoring them. The hen flushed at my feet and upon further inspection I found her nest tucked into a woven mess of switch grass and pine needles beneath a new growth pine. I will monitor the nest through incubation, and the soon-to-be chicks as they battle their way to fledging. All the data I collect is going to be used to guide future management decisions and eventually establish a sustainable population of bobwhites in the Garden State. . . . #UplandGame #UplandGameBirds #BobwhiteQuail #YoungForests #BackcountryHuntersandAnglers #Publiclandowner #PublicLandsProud #Conservation #AldoLeopold #PineBarrens

I wrote this piece as a part of a final project for an Environmental Communications course I took in college. Since that time, two things have happened that I would have never expected. 1) I was lucky enough to have my article published in Upland Almanac nearly two years later. It is an honor to share my concern about modern forest management practices in such a highly regarded publication. And 2) I now am a Northern Bobwhite Research Technician working on a bobwhite quail restoration effort in the heart of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, a part of the same initiative that inspired me to write this piece. The article also landed me an A in my Environmental Communications course. Funny how some things come around. . . . . #UplandAlmanac #ForestManagement #WildlifeManagement #UplandHunting #BobwhiteQuail #RuffedGrouse
