A little further down the road from Paradise

dang it, I wanted to believe they didn’t exist on my property…but I unearthed my first poisonous snake in ky. He get separated from himself with the bucket of the skid steer

I do hate to see those things! I have not encountered any on my property....yet.
 
I actually do not kill rattlers or copperheads any more; I think the pigs have just about wiped them out in my area. Now I will go Dirty Harry on a cottonmouth… and did a week ago.

I’ll take those snakes over hogs. Scared to death they will take hold in our area one day
 
I know you boys out East have far more snakes than me and must run into them more, but I can’t make myself do it. I’ve had a mower and we had one tractor “inhabited” by a pack rat. I’ll take any snake that I can get…

Finally caught a decent one. Been culling for a while…maybe it’s paying off? Too many variables but I like to believe it’s the smoking gun!

Oh also, looks at all the sericea lespedeza at my feet. It’s everywhere in my yard. I’m going to have to spray with triclopyr before the summers over.

How big is your pond?
 
It’s about 2.5 acres. Not big but big enough to produce a couple good fish if managed well
 
What bait fish is it stocked with?
