I'm sorry Cap'n but I just have to ask why is he holding that??

Its a black ratsnake, so it has no venom. They have teeth though, he managed to get me on the other side of my face.

OK just wondering. I was nearly bit by a 12" copperhead the other day while I was working at this lady's house. I stepped over it and then noticed it and slammed my shoe on it. It turned an bit at my shoe but it lost it's head to a pair of needle nose pliers.

I don't mind any snakes in my yard, but copperheads, pigmy and timber rattlers I can't have near the house because my dog is nosy, so I normally take them out to the back of the property and release them there. Nonvenomous snakes are fine though, and they eat mice, which we have millions of, if you shine a spotlight in my yard at night, you'll see thousands of little eyeshines from field mice.

Captain ever thought about investing in some yard cats??

Hey Fuzzybear - I loaded up the other day and went to the local park and caught 35 panfish in about an hour and a half on elk hair caddis flies man it was a BLAST!! I went back a few times and caught several more and even a few bass.

I quess you'll be changing your signature to
BORN TO HUNT AND FLY FISH, FORCED TO WORK!!

Well I'm not so sure about that just yet!! Don't tell anybody else, but after snapping off several flies, nearly hitting people on the walking track and setting the hook in my back on a windy day I think I kinda got the hang of it.

Cap'n how about those cats?
