Went fishing in the marsh this weekend...we were setting up our canopy near our duck blind and I noticed my dog was too far away, called him to me and just as he started coming towards me, we hear the rattle and my wife yells SNAKE!!

This snake took the first .45 through the upper 1/3 and looked at me like "Is that all you got"....then he coiled up and was ANGRY....... .45 rounds 2 & 3 did the job though.

Now the wife wants a boat!! The island we fish/hunt on was named Snake Island in the local indian dialect. This is the first live rattler I have seen......I was shaking afterwards because he could have bitten my dog!

Good rattlesnake pictures from beaches photos on webshots

Went fishing again with Reb181 this past weekend. You get to see these
tarantulas from time to time, but this was a really big one. I almost ran it over. It was crossing the road. He/She was a little camera shy.

This wasn't while we were out riding, but the bear did stop in to the yard and have a look at the machines.

Well right on the back of my backyard, on my Jetty was this Spotted Turtle sunning himself (Herself?).

But, Turtle didn't like my company and decided to take off.

Last is a Beaver Lodge, I have seen the beavers, but have not gotten a picture yet. They take off immediately.

Besides the Beavers and turtles, we have huge bullfrogs, Tree frogs, whitetail deer, Ducks, Geese, Herons, Red Foxes, Brook Trout and Chain Pickerel that are common in/around the pond.

Cool

I like them much better than spiders.

Today I took the BigFoot out for a Blast,,,I entered the Pond spillway and climbed up the other side into the trail we cut in the small pine grove,,I see something move up ahead,,,it 2 Beaver's this time,,they were about 4' from the water,,in the Pine needles,,,doing fur maitenance lol,,,I stopped for a few watching them,,,

I then went forward on the trail as they entered the water,,I entered the Pond about about 100' ft or so up the trail,,I motored easy like to the area they were in,,One on each side of the Pond,, I then motored my way to an exit area,,and shut the BigFoot down,,just floating and not moving,,, They both met up,,and one followed the other,,swimming in a back and forth loop,,each loop getting closer to me by a few feet,,last loop about 20' away from me,,,the lead Beaver,,,SLAPS,,,his tail hard,,under they go,,to come up about 50 ft from me,,,was misty and rainy,,,getting damp,,I then motored across the pond exiting at the spillway,,kind of an off camber spot,,tilting excitingly to the right,,,Ahhh the BigFoot handles it with ease ! Man these Amphibs are cool !,,,,,Mark
