All the small things
« on: September 24, 2010, 10:40:15 PM »
Went out today to find a deer to shoot but spent a lot of time with some creepy crawlies instead.

This a pretty good sized Mantis that was in the road.  About 4 inches long and real aggressive to.


This was a cool looking snake that was in the road.  It was about 18 inches long and when I got close it flattened its whole body like a cobra hood.




Walked right past this bush and didnt see the hive until the return trip.  Could have been a bad day.

Cool pics.  You should have picked up the snake and thrown it at the hive?

The mantis cracks me up, ornery little *censored*!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
