    Default Snakes


    Guess with the warm weather lately they moving around too.We took care of two monday,a water snake and cotton mouth.Big cotton mouth its head looked to be as big as the back of my hand.I was standing less then three feet from it when my friend pointed it out to me.DANG WHAT A BLOOD RUSH it was hard to see but laying out in the open if you know what mean.I would have stepped on that sucker if it hadn't been for my friend pointing it out,I bought him a big steak for supper.I had rather be locked in a small room with zillions of skeers as to be locked in a room the size of a football feild with just one T'd off cotton mouth.

    I know what you mean. Several years ago some friends and i were goose hunting in January when it got warm like this. We were wading down a ditch around Cash, and spotted one sitting on the top of the ditch. And of course one of my dumb arse friends decided to hit it with his gun barrel. Next thing you know the cottonmouth slithers into the water with us. I don't think you'll ever see 4 grown men climb a ditch bank that fast.

    I've seen it a number of times over the years. Warm weather with blue sky's immediately after a cold spell and the moccasins come out. Usually they're still sluggish. When it's a cotton mouth it is usually a big one.

    Ya'll keep'm over there. I was working cypress trees last spring and came eyeball to eyeball with the biggest cottonmouth rattle moccasin I have ever seen. I let him have that tree, but I bet the stink I left poisoned him to death. I now carry a cottonmouth rattle moccasin JUDGE to change that smell to freshly burnt gun powder.

    The only good snake is a dead snake!

    I remember rabbit hunting in the middle of winter with the temps around 35-40 and unmelted snow still on the ground found one laying ontop of a brush top along the edge of a slough near Brinkly AR. They come out in cold weather.
