Signs of Spring in the Desert

[oneaday]

I really love living in the desert, that being said I really hate walking outside for my evening smoke and being confronted by a 3 ft. rattlesnake in my backyard.
First you yell it and then you do it, After cleaning myself up (Yes Sheryl, I used more than a single sheet) I attended to business. One less rattler in Mr. Oneaday's neighborhood.
I was so excited I forgot to have my cigar, I'll have to smoke two today.

Dont have to worry about down here. We get small ones every once in a while. I really only have to worry about the alligators. The other day I was smoking on the proch and at the edge of the bank was a small 5 footer. Dogs were upset that they had to stay on the porch and couldnt go out to mess with the gator.

Some of my friends found a little 4 footer this past weekend at Katemcy while out wheelin. I haven't seen any rattlers yet this year, just a few copperheads.

Watch yer step!

copperheads around here is the worst ones. But never see them around the farm I keep my cows on thanks God. But my buddy kills 4-5 a year there.

A friend of mine has golden labs and has them snakized every year. Electric collar with caged rattlers along the trail. Gets them used to the scent and a shock every time they see one from a safe distance. He claims it works.......

Thats why we are always really careful when we play golf early. I leave them alone and they me.

[aleam_38]

was out huntin' hogs two weeks ago, ran into a three footer. That damn water moccasson scared the piss out of me. Hate then so much.

You can actually smell a copperhead...smells like a sliced cucumber. When you're out in the woods and you get a whiff of that, then step carefully!
