I feel the same way.I'll only kill them around the house sometimes if I see them,only for the sake of other peoples interest.They are active at night too

OMG! I can't stand those critters! jamey where do you live? It's going to be 74 here tomorrow and I know they come out for that sun! Oh and those little points are sweet!

 

[jamey]

hello NCPeaches,i live in middle Tn.my day started off by going down hwy 40 to rockwood tn to pick up a part for my truck,the ice really hit them there, trees down everywhere.got my part and made it back towards home pretty fast ,so i thought id hunt for a few,get a hunt in before it gets cold,never thought about a snake being out today so as a stepped over him i seen him,kinda grimmaced as i went over him,kinda like it takes a really bad team to beat a good team,well it takes a really dumb snake to take out a seasoned hunter.

 

[NCPeaches]

Well be careful and that tells me if they're out there then they're out here too...I've seen water snakes sunning in January on a 70 degree day in my creek and the locals saying they thought they didn't come out until Spring. lol

Damn I hate snakes!

Wow! Watch your step...

I have heard they don't come out till spring but if you see frogs and turtles snakes are out also. I wear my snake boots even in the winter. Last trip to the creek it was 50 and I saw a turtle on the bank. I bet you jumped I know I did last year when I saw one in the brush on a gravel bar. I was bent over about a foot from him looking in the gravel and he was looking back at me.
