Yall should come down and pull levee gates out of the rice fields...one summer of that and you can smell a snake from a 100 yds(well maybe not that far lol)

No....

Do you keep the beaver hides and if so what months do you start and finish skinning them out? We have more copperheads here, had to kill one that bit my dog.. I spend a lot of time fishing but see very few moccasins. Did have a big rattler in the yard once, that was first one I ever saw in the wild.

Yup I know where it is. It's huge. What do beaver eat in those big pine farms?

Cottonmouths have seemed to replace all our rattlesnakes. Most all snakes get a pass on certain properties I frequent except cottonmouths...they all die! Haven’t seen a copperhead in years now, doesn’t mean I haven’t walked over or near them, just haven’t seen them.

just about the time I think I should move my fat tail out of the snowbank you post something like this and I sit right back down

I am opposed to killing most venomous snakes, however If I had to trap in those southern swamps I would kill every cottonmouth that I came across. Once in awhile I come across a timber rattler and they want to get away from me, and that's OK with me..God Bless you Paul, you just would not find me wading through those southern swamps. Cottonmouths, big spiders, and gators are not for me.

You forgot the alligator snapping turtles. Anything that can live for two days with a 330 around it's neck underwater and crawl off when you release it is a bad dude.
