Oldmans creek is in Salem county and unfortunately none of the duck boats survived

Default Old Hunting Pictures

I live in Pedricktown, NJ and interested in the pictures of Jumbo. We don't have many historical pictures of that area and was wondering if the person who posted them was willing to copy me through email. Thank you so much. Lew and Carol McF

Awsome to have pics of family history like that. Safeguard them like the treasure they are. They'll mean more and more to you as the years go by.

I grew up hunting ducks near Finns Point in Salem County where the NWR is presently located. Great hunting. I sure do miss it. My father and grandfather also hunted Mannington Meadow and near Mad Horse Creek. Fortunately, the boats in our family have survived. I've got a classic 1920's railbird skiff, a lapstrake railbird skiff like the one in A.B. Frost's wonderful print and a good old Alumacraft Ducker. All tucked away safely in my barn. The guns and decoys are still in the family too. South Jersey had a culture that revolved aroung gunning and Maryland is a poor substitute. Thanks for showing the wonderful photos.

Killed my first duck (drake ringneck) on the Wading River near New Gretna about 55 years ago. Can still remember it vividly

There is a great picture in there of a Barnegat Bay Sneak Boat. I have always wanted to build one as a winter project. Fantastic duck boat.

First pic: Youngster (now 94) with his little rifle protecting his baby sister but thinking about shooting some gophers.

Second pic: Youngster's great-grandma giving a life lesson. "Now listen up boy. See that dust yonder? Them's revenooers a comin'. Keep that gun o' yorn under the car, jest in case I needs it."
