liltex Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 It's that time of the year as timberattlers are moving around to mate.Seen 2 while cleaning my firing lanes this am on my tractor.Neighbor in Batson had a 4' w/8 rattles/button in her dog pen near the water bowl.Careful walking in wooded areas and nearby yards especially after dark.

liltex Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 They are still moving in Moss Hill.Saw a t/rattler out 25 yds from my stand swallowing a small bird,as I was watching/scouting some deer come to the corn feeder.Rattler was not real big,maybe 3'.Later he crawled into a part hollow tree trunk.I'm guessing that was his last supper as I later plugged the hole w/a limb.He warned me he was still there.

It was up on the rafters. Never did see the end of the snake. He may have been longer but I was too busy getting outta there. All snakes might as well be 20 ft. to me.

bullets13 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 one of the very few good things about having most of our lease burn this year is that there are very few snakes and very few ticks right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
