My Uncle was gonna stomp a black racer that was in the barn once for us kids, kinda showing off. It ran about half up his overhauls and he screamed and cussed like a little girl.He still gets mad 40 years later when we bring that up.RC

This is one reason that I really enjoy living in northern ontario! The other reasons are,no tornados,hurricanes tsunami's,earthquakes,lyme diseased ticks,etc only cold winters with a lot of snow.

RC

That's some nice looking rattleheadedcoppermoccasins.

You are correct.  The mocassins are the ones that will come after you.  Canebrake rattlers will not go after you, but they will stand their ground and strike. Copperheads will remain motionless and hope you leave them alone. I walk up on them from time to time.  Had one crawl up my leg  sitting motionless on the ground turkey hunting one morning, it was a wild morning!

Oh yeah, and as usual RC, great pics, thanks for taking us along.

I love it. I had an "uncle" that was a licensed herpatologist, so I was kinda raised with snakes.
At Ft. Benning, during basic, I showed off my skills by catching a cottonmouth while on FTX. The drill sgts were NOT happy. LOL.
Great pics RC.

When you live and hunt down here you just get used to them being there. You will probably walk past and step over more than you actually see. Where I hunt you can walk down the access roads and it sounds like a squadron of B-29s warming up in the woods. Mosquitoes can be quite noisy. The only snake I have yet to see here is the Eastern Coral snake. Everything is else is quite abundant in the these woods. It is illegal to kill them on the NWRs here in Mississippi.

Critters like that, that ain't tough enough to handle OUR winters, should be no concern!   :rolleyes:    :nono:

Another reason I love hunting with RC, he appreciates all of God's creatures, even the semi-dangerous ones.  But why doesn't he have any close-ups like this....

Let's see,on my property I have no mosquitos, no snakes, no gators, no ticks or crazy ants, just deer, hogs,grouse, squirrels,yotes,fox and groundhogs.  Life is good.  I did see a garter snakes once but I gave it a warning with my tractor and haven't seen it since.
