I used to catch snakes and bring them home much to my grand mother's delight. I forgot a small copper belly in the top pocket of my Levi jacket(I was about 6-9 years ole) I can still remember hearing my grand mother's voice echoing out of the basement: S-C-O-T-T-Y etc.
I flew out of bed. In fact I believe I had an out of body experience...hahahaha

scroll down on this link to find the red belly snake. They are pretty

snakes of Yooperland

We also had pine snakes but we left them alone because they were so aggressive.

I thought I was going to watch a woodie choke to death on that tadpole.  damn thing threw it back like he was doing shots of wild turkey, and it got stuck. 

I cant seem to get a woody on film,where I trap beaver I seen one but the little guy always gets away before I can get a shot...Would love to get one mounted

I for one dont want to see you get wood on film thank you Mark

crap didnt pay any attention to that

you know you have just outdone me in the worded poorly division  .... woodys and beavers in the  same sentence 

as for the snakes I like the garden snakes but have had a few get tough over the years .... heard a god awful screaming one time followed the sound to its source (I was that kind of kid walk toward the scary noise  ) and down near the pond I discovered a snake swallowing a frog but he had the frog backwards so it was screaming... that was a horror show had to listen to that for a good long while....dumb snake

I had a minnow trap out one time, no minnows, but about 10 watersnakes the size of the garters in the pics above. I took the trap to my neighbors to show off, they ALL escaped in the garage. I think we caught 2 of them. We never told his wife.

I know what was he thinking

We rescued one from a hay bale that was still alive and well.  It was packed tight in the bale and couldn't get out.  My daughter resued it and we made a good release away from the next windrow.
