Thread: Snake in the boat

I forgot the most exciting part of my trip to Stockton the other night. I just got set up, sit down with a cup of coffee, looked up and a snake was about 4 or 5 feet from the boat, coming at me like a torpedo. May have been the way the light was shining, but it looked like about a 7 ft long rattlemouthcottonmocasin. Thanks to my 4 ft long fully automatic boat paddle and a lot of cussin, I finally ran him off.

Good thing you got that nasty thing out of there! I ran into my first snake of the year today as well! Don't know what kind it was, sounds like your rattlemouthcottonmocasin, but that sucker was headed for the boat as fast as he could go too. I gave him a good whack with the ugly stick but the dummie kept coming so I hit him a few more times to make sure he got the point! Needless to say if he would have made it in the boat, I would have been out of the boat and everyone around would have been laughing!! Why are snakes in this world again??? LOL

so we can have practise killing stuff snakes are bad bad!

I had a cottonmouth try to get in the boat with me a few weeks ago,heck of a way to start the day......i've still got the willies.

They are just looking for a free ride.

Snakes-The reason man invented bullets.

Thats funny. I was cleaning up the brush behind my shop last weekend and found a 5 foot black snake. Mrs. Speck was playing in her flower bed so I thought "what the heck" I carried up there to show it to her.:D She turned around and jumped 3 feet in the air, screamed and did 3 laps around the house without touching the ground. I guess she doesnt appreciate a good mouse hunter like I do.

I think she about scared the poor thing to death. The ole black snake had a very confused look on it's face. I guess it never saw a fat lady move so fast!!!
