Re: Snake hunters, check this out!
I have one about 2 1/2 ' long that guards my garden. he lives under a steel plate and a concrete slab. I've seen him with a couple of mice and a rat so far this year. I have a cat that used to stalk him but i think they had it out one day because the cat steers clear as much as posable so far this year. He's been out there for 3 years ,the grandkids think its a rattler----I just havn't told them it isn't.

Re: Snake hunters, check this out!
Probably hunting birds.
I had a strange encounter on the Deschutes while fishing. Every day when I'd go by one certain spot, a Bull Snake would be lying on the bottom of the river in a few inches of water close to shore. Don't know if it was hunting stoneflies or fish or just cooling off. It was there several days in a row.

Re: Snake hunters, check this out!
Thank goodness we dont have many of those things in trees around here. It would be creepy to hunt elk in brush and have a 6' snake fall on your head!

Re: Snake hunters, check this out!
That's awesome! Wish I had a few of them around my yard to knock down the mice.

Re: Snake hunters, check this out!
When I was a kid I was walking an old overgrown road when I disturbed one about that size. He was eating a mouse in knee-high grass and I never would have seen him except that he reared up to see what I was. I about filled my pants. Looked like a cobra with that head full of rodent (even though I knew there were no cobras on this continent). He spit the mouse and split in an instant and I felt bad for disturbing his meal. Spotted him several times along that stretch once I learned to watch for him.

Re: Snake hunters, check this out!
Just to be clear, the snake was placed there for a pic, it was under metal roofing laying on the ground minding its own buisness. They rarely come out in the open around here.

I don't know were you live or more importantly were you found all those snakes, but I hope it was nowhere near Toledo! Kevin
