I haven't seen half as many snakes in the 20 years that I've lived in Alabama as I saw in the previous twenty that I lived in Florida. They are everywhere down there.

Killed a cotton mouth setting a beaver trap at a culvert yesterday. Killed a banded water snake setting coon traps over a month ago.

Mark (outdoors), there are a lot of reptiles in Fl, some moved to Alabama! No 257, but Mike learned not to follow so close. He almost had boot prints on his chest! I moved out till I got my 45 unholstered.!

I'm always looking for cottonmouths since I killed one last December hanging out by my wood duck box near my pond. Always wear my snake boots. My friend usually runs over a couple of rattlesnakes in the spring and summer bush hogging my food plot. Last thing anyone needs is to get bit by one of those sneaky bastages. Always be looking for them especially with turkey season. I always double check before I sit down no matter how close that gobbler is.

Mike learned not to follow so close. He almost had boot prints on his chest! I moved out till I got my 45 unholstered.! Was planting some trees yesterday with the 9 yo. I told her to not follow me so close in case I had to back up in a hurry... when I explained it she kept about 15 feet back!

I had a dream last night that I was working a bird and reached down next to me to get my box call only to hear leaves rustling next to my hand. I looked and a cotton mouth was about to strike. I rolled away and shot the SOB! I woke up sweating! True story.

Snakes better watch out for me. I bite em back. This. I've killed a whole lot more of them than vice versa. I don't kill non-venomous (no such thing as a "poisonous" snake) snakes, and the only venomous snakes I kill are the ones near my house/barn, with the exception of cottonmouths...they get killed any time/any place.

Exactly. As long as it's not in the chicken coop, all non-venomous guys get a pass. Growing up, we were taught to catch chicken snakes and bring them to the barn and corn crib to catch rats. I've got a neat video from last summer of a Gray Rat snake hanging from the barn bar joists eating the babies out of a bird's nest.

Back in my timber-buying days, I was flagging a property line and stepped on something going through some thick stuff that felt funny. It felt like I was standing on a water balloon that didn't bust. I stepped off it, turned and realized that I'd dead centered a healthy timber rattler, and I look again, as see another one lying beside it just a few inches away. I missed the second one by several inches in front of my toe, but I'm fairly certain I hit the first one in the shallow void between my slightly raised heel and ball of the foot on my boots, so I didn't put all my weight on him. He never reacted nor rattled, and both just moseyed on off into the brush.
I don't mind snakes, and have caught my fair share of them, but that was definitely one time that I had my hair stand on end, realizing that I'd actually stepped on one. I did have my knee-high snake gators on that day, so hopefully that would have discouraged a calf bite.. but that scenario was a prime chance to get struck. I still can't believe that they never 'acted up'.

I have a king snake that lives under the driveway slab right next to my house. I've seen him and talked to him the past few days and I don't dare tell the wife about him. She would never understand that he's the kind of snake you want around the house
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

There's only one snake, in this part of the world to be concerned about. The cotton mouth is like an angry woman. Best to avoid him or kill him. People have an irrational fear of snakes. Especially rattlers. You gotta really piss off a rattler before he strikes. They don't want to bite anything they can't eat.

The frogs man. They're everywhere. Can't get that noise out my head. F**k a frog. I was outside pissing of the porch last night about 10 and a damn bull frog jumped on my foot. Could've been a komodo dragon and I wouldn't have jumped as high.
Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Bullfrogs on front porch? That's what I call lucky! Make a fine meal. I spend all nite in a rice field to get em and u got em on the porch! Ha. There's a small creek that runs just outside my back fence, and they constantly find their way in the back yard. Damn dog has a fit after them.
Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.
