Title: Snakes and deer
Post by: BowEd on June 09, 2016, 09:22:22 pm: Well summer has arrived here driving the temps into the 90's.Humid and hot.Saw a pretty water snake today in the pond and a fawn deer huddled under a multiflora rose.Ticks are working overtime but not many misquitos.Could use some rain but not desperate yet.

It was laying just off the trail six feet from me and three friends as we shot at a target at a archery shoot. When I took a couple steps to go retrieve our arrows it clumsily struggled to it's feet just as I was about to step on it. Had no idea it was laying there and it really surprised me. It had a hard time scrambling a few yards away and we figured by the way it was so wobbly on its feet that it was probably less than a full day old.

He's(she) probably 7' to 8' long, was stretched out on the tongue of a trailer, folded back on itself and at least 1/3 of it I couldn't see. This snake has been around for many years and I'm amazed just how big he(or she) is. Maybe this is why we don't see many copperheads any more.

Went around it... maybe it'll eat some mice I hope.
