DSGB Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I ran into this guy during turkey season. He was in the middle of the road at a creek crossing, sunning himself in a shallow puddle. I gave him every chance to move outta my way. I stomped around, threw some sticks, but all he did was open his mouth. He died of lead poisoning. There was no way I was leaving him in the middle of the road, only to have him get me on the way out. He had the lightest colors of any Moccasin I've ever seen. They're usually so dark they appear black. I wish I had a picture of him while he was alive, but I was after them dang turkeys and the camera was in the truck. I went back after lunch and took pictures. Glad it wasn't still dark on the way in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Re: Water Moccasin Killed quite a few(think 11 one morning in March) of em around here this spring too, but surprisingly never saw a one during the turkey season. They usually range in colors here from a orangish brown to almost black depending on the time of the year and where they are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to ran into just one rattler for some pics as long as I see him before I step on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
