First one of the year
if you guys get another i sure would love to have the rattle
last year I was burning a brushpile,( left overs from the big ice storm).was setting on the tailgate having a cold one,( only one)
watching it burn,2 big rats came out of the middle of the brushpile,guess the heat was getting close, a minute later a huge black snake started comming out of the other end of the pile,he had his head above the grass-weeds which needed mowed,he kept coming out and his head went into the brush and weeds beside the creek.his head was in the creek before his tail came out of the brushpile! I set there kind of dumbfounded,I had never seen a snake that big anywhere but on T V.after the brushpile burned way down, I took a tape measure and measured the distance between the edge of the previous brush pile and the weeds in the creek, was a little over 9 feet! he was cole black all over,and his girth was bigger than a soft ball ! haven`t seen him since, but think about it every time I go back there and mow.
sorry for the length of this, bob
