    Default Snakes/trees


    For the last few days I noticed snakes climbing trees,need to watch while going under the trees.They are searching for bird eggs and small birds,they pretty smart knowing what tree to climb to get dinner.

    Yesterday seen one going up a tree that I knew had bady wood ducks in it,I knocked him off the tree with my rod hoping to save them from getting eaten.Will today I went back by the same tree and could see a snake already in the nest with another snake about halfway up the tree.Be carefull and look up before going under trees this time of year.

    Man where you guy's fishing? The Amazon! When I was 10 fishing with my dad in Lk. Washington in Ms we went under a red wasp nest in a cypress tree about the size of a dinner plate. My dad stirred them up and they attacked me. I was stung about 25 times. My dad fired up the trolling motor and had to cross the lake to get to the car. I thought I was going to die. What a trip.

    *LOL* Dinner plates were commom back in the days,the dinner platters seemed to have stingers half mile long.I have never been brave enough to stir up a dinner plate to see if the fish below would bit better lol.

    Dang snake was still in the wood ducks nest today,guess he going to stay until he eats them all.
