 Copperheaded timber-rattlahsAre everywhere this year. I'm glad I didn't do too much turkey hunting this Spring. Mountains are ate up with copperheads and timber rattlers.
Wife and I went up to the Shenandoah National Park and hiked a trail and we saw more snakes in one trip than I've seen in five years. And no bears which is rare. Maybe the snakes are eating the bears. My brother works on a golf course and found a 12' 7" burmese python skin last week while cutting grass.  The mountains in some places are ate up with snakes all the time. There's a ski resort called Wintergreen not too far from us. Guy that worked construction up there said they'd dig up dens of rattlers in the winter. Backhoe buckets full of snakes. Said the killed one about 6' and the boss put it in a cooler to keep it so he could make a belt. They were driving the van down the mountain at the end of the day and a guy reached back to grab a beer and the snake crawled out of the cooler...un-dead. Said the man driving had been a bomber pilot in WWII and man turned white and had cold sweat running down his head. They pulled off and gave the van to the snake for a little while. _________________ 1660 Rhino High-Side with center console 90/65 Mercury 2 stroke Outboard jet pump Run shallow, run loud. |
