Here is one of my black ringnecks nests that I have been watching. She'd been setting for about a week. I walked by and noticed she wasn't on the nest anymore.

I was taking som epics and one got nervous and started down a mouse hole. I went to get my gun and came back and she had rejoined the party. They wre twitching doing some kind of mating thing. I managed to kill them, and not harm the eggs, but I have no idea how long she was off the nest, and I bet she won't come back. No eggs in there belly but there was a buldge. I cut it open and there were two junglefowl chicks in its gut. Thats about $300 worth of pheasant. *censored*s.

Damn Bone, if I ever get an interest in shooting snakes I'm coming to your house. That would not fly with my old lady. She would have me kill them all...
-
Here's a third I got after that from my "snake trap". Its not really a trap, but seems to be a place where snakes like to gather. I flipped him out into the yard and let the fun begin.

:chuckle: Sorry for lauphing but it looks like you have a snake problem. That sucks, thats about as bad as yotes killin my local fawns >:( Like seeinfg the yotes till they did that , now everyone I see bites the bullet!
-
Looks more like the reflection of a gun barrel :chuckle:
-
on a side note, the chukar that I took all the pictures of the other day showed up bloody as hell. He looked like he got a serious ass whoppin or narrowly escaped death from somewhere. He looked like he might have been run through the ringer or had the squeeze put on him. I questioned if this snake might have tried to get him as he had two different specks of dried blood on him. :dunno:
-
No, I'd have to agree with you. I ussually left the Bulls alone, relocating them to the other corner of the yard or something. We'd usually see about three or four of them a year. This year...holy cow, and they are hammering my bird business. Roseann and the kids showed up and here I was on my belly trying to get a close up of this *censored* without getting bit, and she about had a heart attack. She is in the same league as your wife Pope. In fact, we had guineas for awhile after she found out what they did to snakes.
-
Oh yea, I see the blood in the close up behind his eye and the top of his head
-
:o
-
Can I come over and thin out your snakes, Bone?
Man, I hate snakes!!!!
-
The mark on the top of th ehead led me to believe that chuck got a hold of him or a good peck in. Who knows, some of my pheasants don't take too kindly to snakes and I have one group that has a couple chicks left, though a bunch are missing, and they will take me on if I dare venture in the pen. I'm pretty sure that they would un invite their guest the hard way. I honestly don't know if a bull would try a chuck or not. He hangs in the shade alot by a big Rose bush that was right where this snake was found. :dunno: One of those things we'll never know. A big raven is fiesting on his rotting carcass as we speak.
-
I'm hoping there aren't any left to thin. :)
-
Are all the snakes on this post Bull snakes?
-
Yes Sir.
-
though one of the ones in the nest when got nervous started buzzing her little tail without any buzzers. I thought that was interesting.
-
Shes a wanabee!
-
I think it was her way of tapping the boyfriend on the shoulder....."ah I think we are in trouble." She left down a hole, and he just layed there sleeping it off. Must have been a good one. She came back and that was the death of her.
-
they do that tail thing...it will scare the piss out of you in the tall grass around quail lake...just ask me, i know.
;)
i was sure the serpents in the nest were buzzworms without seeing their heads.
-
They look alot of like. I've seen several thousand rattlers, and sometimes I still have to do the jump before I realize who I am dealing with. I never knew you'd fished quail....we need to talk.

:yike: :yike:

1 uneventful trip from daylight well into the dark.
zero fish.
it would probably be a short talk.
:chuckle:
-
Bone it would be cheaper to raise Snakes than to raise Pheasant's!!! :chuckle:
-
You're probably right. I bet there are even more permits though.
nah...wouldn't work, divorces are pretty spendy too. :)
