txstar Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Tell me if any of you have ever heard of this, or seen such a situation. When I was a 12-13 yr old we hunted on the Dinn Ranch just South of Freer for several years. On two occasions, I saw the following: We were driving to town after the evening hunt. I always asked Dad to drive to the gate and he would let me. Driving down the road to the gate, I saw about 8-9 quail standing in the road in a straight line, they were perfectly upright and still. Beside them was a 5-6 foot rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was stretched out straight and the quail were standing right beside the snake just standing there. The quail were only 4-5 inches from the snake. I witnessed this twice. I do not know what the quail were doing but know for sure that I saw this. Anybody got any info.
gringo Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Well, I haven't seen the quail - but I have seen the mojados line up next to a fence like that!
Wildfire Posted November 16, 2007 Report Posted November 16, 2007 maybe the snake was blind and the birds were pickin on him about it HA HA
