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?

 

[Howboutthemdawgs]

It’s about 2.5 acres. Not big but big enough to produce a couple good fish if managed well

 

[omicron1792]

What bait fish is it stocked with?

This is north woods hd plot screen. Very happy with this stuff. There’s a road on the other side of the screen

I think the gators and the pigs have taken care of most of the snakes here. I often used to see a half dozen cotton mouths a day. Have not seen one this year. Pigs are gone now, also

I don’t like to brag…but I do have some pretty good tick habitat. Great hatch this year

I couldnt like that post. I have had seed ticks before and thought I was going to die. Aint a fan of chiggers, either. I would have burned those pants

Just reminded me that I need to go spray down our clothes with permethrin.

I get them like that on the one farm pants just crawling with them sometimes it has seemed to have gotten a little better since burning off some of the pastures I believe that helps.
