5-6 footer's on the sidewalk I don't mind them, but don't want them in the house, they went for a little ride.

Can't tell what kind of snake you got there?
I have a bunch of garter snakes around here I have to watch out for when I mow.

No thanks. I’ve only seen a couple snakes in my life (we don’t have any) and I was cutting timber in Oregon the first time, and California the second time, so I had a saw handy, and I used it. Never been happier to run a chain into the ground lol

Your dad has the worst mismatched feet I have ever seen. I have mangled four toes with a chainsaw and they aren't that different in length. Maybe an optical illusion? You and Vinke related?

Sounds crazy, I would think trapping/calling and deer/ turkey hunting at night dawn/ dusk would be d-++- dangerous,

Are those cottonmouths just super aggressive, or just when you get to close?

…. My experience is they show their mouth first … if you don’t heed the warning they can get aggressive
