Seeing snakes is just part of being in the woods guys

january the snakes are in full hibernation mode however and you'll have to go to a zoo to see a snake then

I wonder how many hundred snakes I walked over without seeing them.  In three trips during the hotter months, I only saw one black snake, and none of the venomous guys.  Guess I was too focused on the piggies.

And that snake Joe has in his picture was so little you'd have to get two that size to make a hatband out of          

You never saw the size of my hat........  

yeah Ron wears a metal garbage can for a helmet! used tin snips to put eye holes in it and glued a cake sheet on top for a visor. gonna need a python for a hat band!

Snakes Hibernate that far south    :rolleyes:    
Here I thought it was sunshine 24-7 beaches and flip flops        

I guess I'll bring the long johns and cold weather gear for sittin in stand in sub zero weather from sun up to sun down.

I have been thinking about how to make a moving pig Target.  What do you say guys.

Python Ken? Try an Anaconda!!!  

Hey guys-
The hunt isn't until January, and this is only May.  Slow down a little, or you will be all worn out by the time you get there.
Oh yeah, forgot to tell you guys about the hibernation thing.

Shoot...S;uthin snakes only hybernate with one eye shut...don't get that cold...and warm spells get them stretchin and yawning and makes em cranky...

How's that fer Yankee humor!?  

That's right Doc...Ray is just tryin to ease you guys' minds. January snakes are pissed off...they don't like the chill in the air and strike at everything that gets close.
They don't all blend in like JC's copperheaded babysnke either......most bledn in even BETTER!

I just don't worry about snakes that much- its the spotted mountain gorillas that keep me up at night- that and the gators hiding in six inches of water!

Man Ray, you didnt tell me you had spotted mountain gorillas in your little glade.Ive been wanting to bag one for years.For a second I thought I saw one but it was just Cousin Ray running and screaming through the palmettos after he got lost, uhhhh I mean turned around.

Izzy, I don't think there has ever been one taken with a traditional bow and arrow. They are extremely quick. So quick in fact, that originally they were called Striped Mountain Gorillas. Then someone saw one standing still.

i ain't scared of much, what do ya think all them critters will think when they see me?????

Biggie, this here critter on the left of the pic is one of them gorillas you speak of.He thought he had the drop on me when he snuck up from behind but as you can see I had him in a Mr.Miagi hand grip and subsequently tossed him into the ditch out front.I could have easily arrowed him and beat Fred Eichler and Nate Anderson to the coveted 1st trad spotted gorilla but I let him go with only a bruised ego.

He would of got ya if he wasn't blinded by the wax job on your noggin.....

I thought them gorillas were from the Bronx.

WOW and i thought ya were all kidding about spotted mountain gorrilas running wild, my mother was accounted for as i saw her this weekend, didn't think there could be ANOTHER one! yup, going to be wearing the big bowie for sure!

RAY HAMMOND...see what you done gone and started!      :eek:    :rolleyes:    

Well put Ken, I would have said it otherwise    

As far as snakes go, you're talking to the guy who as a child would hide them in my pants to bring home as pets. My mom didn't allow them in the car.

She used to get away with giving me size restrictions.  They kept getting larger every time I would bring out a snake that would exceed her limit.  She stopped giving me size restrictions around 8 feet.  I ain't afraid of no snake.

Spotted Mountain Gorilla's?  I eat them for breakfast.


Izzy, didn't know you had spotted gorilla in your blood! maybe that's where you get that grip.
