What was funny to me was when the snake swam to the bank he went up a little bitty tree and looked as tho he was scared to death.I thought the only time I had to worry about a snake falling in the boat or on me was in the spring of the year.I knew they climbed trees in the spring looking for bird eggs and never really give it a thought after that.I guess tho they eat baby squirrels too and coons or what ever lives in the knot holes.Dang didn't want to worry about snakes this time of year falling in the boat.I try to fish every day but sometimes miss a day now and then,I have seen alot wildlife things happen.I've seen bass eat baby woodducks,turtles,a bird on a low hanging limb.I've seen deer swim the river and slip and fall back into the water trying to go up a bluff bank.

I live in the northeast part of the state and fish maining black river and the oxbows off black river.
