Hooks and bags....will travel

JuliusSqueezer · #1 (**permalink**) 12-05-2001, 09:03 AM

It's a long time till summer but never too early to plan....anyone in the Southeast within a half days drive from Atlanta with any good snake hunting land with some interesting species? I have a few places around here that I enjoy flippin rocks and stumps....but want to intrude on other people's happy hunting grounds as well [img]images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif[/img] If I drive 6 hours and catch a ringneck snake....I'm gonna be mean and probably throw a tantrum or something though...so make sure please and point us towards some pretty kings or ratsnakes or something. [img]images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif[/img] also anyone interested in joining me on hunts around here this spring/summer....bring your old shoes and plenty of Off.

I'm ignorant of any good hunting grounds around here, but I know there must be some. I see at least one snake almost every time I go golfing, so now that I got a hook from yah, I'll be carrying that in my bag along with a pillowcase.

I think herping would be a trip, but I dunno if I could convince the wife of it! [img]images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif[/img] [addsig]

Maybe we can meet in the middle and find a place....I'm 4 hours away....2 hours each and we can just pick a good spot and go....what do you think??? I don't got a hook though...but it's not like I'm going after hots anyways.....I see all kinds of black, yellow, green rat snakes as well as cotton mouths, copperheads, and some green arborial snake. Feels like rubber. I even got a place you can crash....I catch them around the ponds here on base....there's also a serpetarium about 45min away and they catch all kinds of crap locally....It's in Edisto Beach, SC....[addsig]

I keep an collapsable snakehook in my vehichle with a pillowcase all the time. You never know where I might end up when I'm out and about.[addsig]

If you happen to be down in FL we should hit the ocala nat'l forest. Kind of a long drive for you tho. [addsig]

Sounds like a plan to me! We'll get all organized with the respective parties and set a date. I want a ratsnake or 2. [img]images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif[/img][addsig]

sorry joltman. If you want to fly in your more than welcome....I see all kinds of green and yellow and black rat snakes all the time....one time I mistaken a baby cottonmouth for something else until it did in fact open it's mouth and gave me a second thought and I had to take a closer look....could've been painful!!!![addsig]

flippinrocks · #10 (**permalink**) 12-12-2001, 06:24 PM

If your lookin to catch copperheads or rattlesnakes and compare regionous colors first hand stop by my house. I can take you to some rock formations on my little mountain here. If you bring dirtbikes we will have even more fun because we could ride trails from spot to spot instead of walking from the road that goes over the mountain.
Either way, I'd go with you'all! I wouldn't be taking any home. This would be a photography trip for me. You guys or gals hold'em and pose'em.

captainmorgan · #11 (**permalink**) 12-12-2001, 07:42 PM

I've always wanted to feed my king a rattlesnake!! I'll never do it because who knows if the rattlesnake has mites or parasites and stuff.....I just thought it would be really sweet to see first hand. I want to watch my kings f up a rattlesnake....hehehe[addsig]

#12 (**permalink**) 12-12-2001, 08:03 PM

I saw on Discovery the other night that if a rattler can keep it's head away from the kings head for long enough, it won't get eaten, the king loses interest. And they don't rattle at kingsnakes, seems they know the king is immune to the venom[addsig]

JuliusSqueezer · #13 (**permalink**) 12-13-2001, 11:15 PM

Dude....don't be killin rattlesnakes!!!! even for kingsnake food....that's why we have garters and rodents. Rattlers get enough greif from us humans to have to deal with being used for snake food too.

captainmorgan · #14 (**permalink**) 12-14-2001, 05:19 AM

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!!! I JUST WATCHED A SERPENT SQUEEZE THING ON DISCOVERY AND GOOD OLD TEXAS AND THERE RATTLER ROUND-UPS!!!!
CAN'T THAT BE BANNED?? WHERE DO I SING??

THAT PISSES ME OFF BEYOND ALL BELIEF THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT!!!!!
I'D LIKE TO ROUND UP HIS FAMILY AND LOP OFF THERE HEADS AND SKIN EM....WHERE THEM FOR BOOTS AND HATS AND BELTS...

Maybe we can go redneck collecting too? [img]images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif[/img][addsig]

SnakePool · #16 (**permalink**) 12-14-2001, 04:52 PM

I think they canceled last year's and this year's round-up. I wish they would all be canceled, but you how it is nowadays, they ban something and someone finds a way around the ban.[addsig]

captainmorgan · #17 (**permalink**) 12-16-2001, 05:04 AM

THAT HAS GOT TO BE ILLEGAL AND CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!!! It's not like it's going out hunting for a deer or something....This is a slaughter!!!!! I don't get it!!! It just pisses me off to no end....there has got to be a petition out there for this and if anybody finds it let me know I'll sign....Does anybody know anybody in a good strong animal activist group???

OK, it's getting a little closer to herping weather, I think we need to try and organize this. Since I'm engaged, the wife has been planning more and more things for my weekends, so I need to plan this herping trip in advance and pencil it in on my calendar.

Who can travel/go when?
Barry? Brett? Capt'n?

hey. rednecks are good people. im a redneck, and proud. its just the dumb rednecks that give us all a bad name. oh the horrors that occur when first cousins become too close. anywho, i hear lots of stories about guys in the adirondacks(sp) and the rattlers up there. i guess theyre really pretty, never seen one first hand. other than that, we have copperheads, i think milk snakes, a bunch of garders, and some big jet black thing that loves to bite. found him up on lake ontario. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] hopefully this summer i can go looking with the quad on the mountains. i'll prolly end up with a bunch of little lizards too. lol
