Thats cuz you have dens with 500 rattlers in it in Texas. LOL

Have you ever walked up on a big group of them when they come out of their dens from hibernation??

na, the timber rattlers are mostly found below flood plain and smell of the stagnant water and funky mud they're in. Plus whatever nasty little critter they're digesting. Half digested fox squirrel STANKS, btw!


these are those funky cottonmouths/moccasin/stubtail

There was a den of 30 under our camphouse on the edge of an oxbow lake off the river. A stray cat found them....or they found the cat, never figured out which way that was.

Some places along the rivers here have them but I have never seen them up where I am.

Do the wild pigs eat them? 1 place by where I grew up in Ca had alot of them and they put a bunch of big pigs in there for a while and they really thinned them out.

We have lots of both...so not sure. They're supposed to eat them, but the one place where I could see 100 hogs/day also had more snakes than anywhere I'd ever seen. It was a lease with 60 other guys but I had that 1000 acres of snake habitat all to myself!

I went and saw the Eastman's Deer Tour setup yesterday and all I can say is WOW. Those animals sure are impressive in real life, the pics I looked at before hand don't do them justice.

Clearly you need more pigs to eat all the snakes

 

[packmule]

I'd rather have the snakes.

 

[Musket Man]

Maybe you need more snakes to eat the pigs then. lol

2112…the year I will turn 148 years old.

 

[Musket Man]

How many points do you expect to have by then UH? LOL

 

[packmule]

2113...pts you will need to draw 2/201 in 2112.

 

[Musket Man]

I bet UH has that many right now if he added all of his together! lol

I think your spot on with that assessment MM

Got my bike back together today and rode about 4 cold miles! Wasnt planning on riding it but I should have known that would happen if I stared it. Im fine till I start it every year and then once it starts I just cant not ride it! Freeze my butt off first ride every year. Maybe gloves or leather or a helmet or something would help but that would be way to much planning!

I'll say this, we had pet potbelly pigs growing up in Arkansas. Our neighbors always had Copperheads or Cottonmouths around their house. We had none. Never saw our pigs eating a snake, but I suppose they had something to do with it...

I would forget to put it on! 1 year I hit about 75 and remembered I forgot to put air in the tire that was low....... Now I check the tired before I ever think of starting it!
