akbowbender · August 10, 2011, 01:36:00 PM

I don't miss being around those critters! Grizzlies are much easier to see....

Thanks for the encouragement RC, I'll stick to the jumbo sized Mosquitos and disease carrying ticks in minnesota....

Those are the biggest tomato worms I have ever seen.

Mine aren't HALF that size!

My wife can shoot a rattler into three pieces before she returns to earth. I on the other can transport myself through the space time continuum into another dimension at the first sound of a rattle.

This is why I love the North. Gator1 pretty much covers it.

ron w · August 10, 2011, 02:29:00 PM

Exactly why I hunted Ray's place in January where it was 22 degrees in the AM and only 40 in the afternoon........nary one of them critters in sight!

Rick Butler · August 10, 2011, 02:44:00 PM

Makes huntin' up here look pretty tame. Our last trip to Ray's was in June, we did'nt see any snakes but then Ray says the hogs eat em... good for the hogs.

RC: I bet you guys walk a little slower while still hunting than we do "up nort."

Seeing all those critters at one sitting can put a person a little on edge. How many snakes/gators is one likely to see in a typical day of hunting?

Big Ed · August 10, 2011, 02:53:00 PM

Dude that is not right!!!

Easykeeper · August 10, 2011, 02:58:00 PM

I probably wouldn't make it through the first week of hunting down there with my Minnesota instincts. I'd either be paralyzed by my imagination or make some stupid mistake about where I step or sit.

Cool pics though, and the snakes are really kind of pretty. Not many dangerous things where I hunt, doesn't mean there's nothing that can hurt you, but it's extremely unlikely.

RC · August 10, 2011, 03:13:00 PM

Don`t let them pics hold you back. You won`t see many at all in a weeks hunt. Walk slow and pay attention. don`t put your hands on a stump or bush without looking. I have almost stepped on a lot I did`nt see.Fellas walking behind me would be ghost white and say "dude you almost stepped on that" and it would be a big rattler or cottonmouth. Happened more than once. Truth is I`ve never seen any of them in attack mode only self defense mode.Truth is I`ve reaped more pain from bumping a bush with a red wasp nest in it than anything else in the woods.RC
