Remember the story , my buddy Carter drives pilings on the water in the Bedico Creek area , he builds docks and boat houses , he called me to see if was OK to give Shelby my number , I told him !!!! no , I wouldn't go work on his excavator , they say he is a " Lot " wilder off camera then on the TV show ---- a few years back he ran over an old guy anchored in his boat fishing in the Creek with the jet boat , while they were filming and the guy died , made the news once and never heard any more about it , now that I think about it , that video started off that he was gone for a while , might be why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 7,605 Posted June 7, 2021 Found this guy in my basement Saturday morning, right next to a basket of dirty laundry. Luckily the womenfolk were all in bed so they didn't see him. Round pupils so looks like a banded watersnake. I scooped him into a dustpan and put it outside. If Mrs Jeep had seen that thing inside the house she would have either burned the house down or made me call an exterminator to fog the whole house. Good thing she was still asleep! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted June 13, 2021 We had a snake encounter yesterday , we were partying on the porch and my buddy Vic went to the fridge to get a round of beers and a 4 ft king snake was going across the patio towards the fridge , he almost got under it before I took a pool stick and got him off the patio , well he was not very happy with that , hissed at me , stuck the pool stick several times , so after 3 times of turning him around and he persistently keep trying to get back on to the patio towards the fridge , I figured he was living under the fridge --- so now I am one pool stick short and he doesn't "LIVE" around here no more , he took up residency in the garbage can and I have moth balls on my list of things to get --- I don't want to hear it , I know , I heard it enough yesterday , king snakes are good snakes , they eat mice and rats and other snakes ---- the only good snake is a dead snake 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,605 Posted June 14, 2021 Went to blow a beaver dam saturday. Had the wife, my neighbor and his girlfriend, and her 4 and 5 year old daughters along. As we pull up to the backside of the dam where the water is supposed to drain, spotted two water moccasins. Had my 22 pistol with suppressor, and threading the barrel eliminated the front sight, so while I can hit a can with ease with it by lining up the crown of the can with the rear sight, precision shooting as something like a snake's head is a little tougher, but I scared them! Went up, put 2lbs of tannerite on the backside of the dam, scared up a water snake there, but he wasn't poisonous, so let him go. Couldn't get the tannerite down in the mud where it needed to be (since I have to leave it exposed to shoot it to set it off), so when I shot it it just made a lot of noise and blew the sticks off of the back of the dam. Going to have to go back out there with 2 cans of the stuff and bury one deep, with the other on top of it to allow me to hit it. Walked back, moccasins were still in the ditch, so they were disposed of with the scoped 308. First one flew about 15 feet in the air when I hit it. The kids thought that was great fun. The womenfolk were not quite as amused. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
