  Just thought I'd show you guy's what likes to live in the same Palmetto thickets with hogs.It makes it exciting when you have to crawl in there looking for a pig you shot.That is half a sheet,4x8,of plywood.

  Jamie,You can crawl around down here with Bears,panthers ,coyotes,gators,big rattlesnakes,coral snakes,python's,anacondas, monitorlizards,komodo dragons,igjuanas,pirahna,and salt water crocs'.And I'm sure it's only a matter of time till we have some more exotic crap.See why we're not afraid of wild hogs.

Sounds like a good time.  I hate to think only the tourists going to Disney are getting an adrenaline rush.  ;D Justin

     That's about the average size around here,in the 5' to 7' range.You don't see the real big ones anymore.When I was younger,you would see some huge ones, 9',12'.The largest I ever got was 9' 9" long,23 rattles and a button.

 We have pockets of rattlers here in CT. but they don't get that big. Neither do the copperheads. I only saw one mountain lion, but a week before seein it I was walkin in the woods in that area and felt like I was bein watched the whole time.

We used to have some huge timber rattlers around here, but you don't see tham much any more. Same with the giant blacksnakes- when I was a kid you saw some eight-nine footers with bodies big as your wrist, but I haven't seen one that big in many years. Too many roads and bush hogs, I guess.

That's a bigun', would rather spot him first from a distance then upclose and personal. I picked up a roadkill blacksnake Saturday on the way home from Pappy's. Small one, but large enough for one limb.

Looks like a potential "hole in the limb" bow in the shed there... ;)

That is a big Snake. All we have up here are Garder Snakes and they don't get much bigger than 2' long

Bears on the other hand we have lots of. Had to crawl through some thick brush after a wounded one many years ago
