Some of you fellers know that besides being a real fisherman, Fly Guy, and the other Guy Brothers Bly, and Sly are or where coon hunters too. I just a little while got a message from Fly, he and Bly were out early this morning treeing coon and had caught their dogs up and started to the truck.

Fly said the sun was coming up and they were at the north west end of a big pasture when they cleared the woods and it was suddenly much warmer there. All of s sudden the biggest rattler either one of them had ever seen came after them. That ole snake was gaining on them quick, so they split up so they might confuse the snake and get away.

Fly said that the snake was so full of poison that when he would open his mouth it would squirt two streams of it about ten feet out of his fangs.

The snake only glanced at Fly when the separated and seemed to know that Fly was the fastest of the two of them, and took out after Bly. Fly said the snake was striking at Bly's heels by the time he got to the fence.

Bly jumped the fence and made it over just a head of the snake who got hung up in that fence. That gave Bly time to get to a young live oak tree and skinny up it. The snake was right behind him though. But thank God Rattlers don't climb trees like other snakes.

Fly was very relieved That Bly had made it up the tree, but the snake was angry and started to bite the tree over and over again. After awhile Bly started to moan and grown. After awhile the leafs started to fall of the tree and Bly had started to cry out in pain. The snake left then, and Fly went to help Bly.

When Fly got to him Bly fell from the tree, DEAD, The poison had run up the tree in it's sap and got into the scratches Bly had gotten climbing the tree. RIP Bly

They don't mess with me then I don't mess with them. I've killed one since I moved here 22years ago and it was in my yard. There must be lots for them to eat because they are plentiful here. Have to be real careful if you go out stompin around.

Somebody else had gotten this one. I usually don't mess with them unless they're around my house.

A beautiful snake, did you take it off of the roadway? We don't have any around now they are all nice and warm in their dens.

Same here in California fly. Down at my level there might still be a few about, but I think it has more to do with the amount of daylight available than with the temperature. The ones in the mountains are for sure tucked away in their beds.

Their feet get cold in the snow.

No, I didn't touch the snake. It was already dead and I was on my daily walk. I thought about riding back to get it when I got to my truck but decided I didn't want to mess with it. There's lots of those the further south you go in Georgia. Bigger ones too.

The MN. DNR spends a ton of money trying to keep those puppies alive. It's too bad the general public does help them out more than they do but they are getting better. Also, many of our snakes have GPS chips in them and they are monitored all year long. Their action has helped considerably and the rattle snake population has increased.

Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. A good snake is a dead snake. Seen to many this past summer in the water and under my dock. No love here

wd4ity Loc: Middle Georgia, Forsyth

Too many people think the only good snake is a dead one. The only snakes that I really don't like are copperheads.
