where'd all the rattle snakes go ????????? continued.....

"Carl........ August 21 at 3:35am ..........they is TO MANY of them here, iv killed over 20 this year. Its nothing to see one dead on the road. I cant stand them. This one chased me.. it was one of the meanest Snakes iv ever seen.
Floyd Merriman........ it was the same way here when i was a kid. now, like i said, i've only seen 1 in 10 years. where i've had my trot line set was rattle snake central when i was in high school. i've been out there pratically every day for the last 2 months, and walked all over........not one.
when i was 6-7-8-or 10 i used to keep horny toads (texas horned lizard's) staked out like my dad had his roosters. i saw one horny toad about 15 years ago, they used to be everwhere. 'big green grasshoppers' with no wings, what we called jumbo's, i haven't seen one since i moved back here in 92'.......kangaroo rats, i don't know if you've ever seen one, but they were a little rat that looked and was about the same size as a gerble, only hopped on their back legs and had a long tail with a white ball of fluff on the end, used to be everywhere. since 92' i've seen one, and my buddy driving the car ran over him.....i'm sure there's lot's more, but these are just a few of the things i've seen disappear around here since i was your age......'i'm just say'n'.......you know the ol say'n, 'here today, gone tommorrow'...."

where'd all the rattle snakes go ?????????

chicken killers: carl, when i was a kid 35 years ago, rattler's were everywhere around here. now i haven't seen but 1 in the last 10 years, and i look. with the snake hunts and people kill'n them because their snakes, it doesn't take long to really endanger... their population..they don't breed til their several years old and they only have a handful of babies 5-10. the rats that they eat do way more harm than they do.ya'll are smarter than a snake, get you a stick to pick'm up with and just move'm on down the hill..........i've never seen one eat'n a chicken.......

· Carl ............. But the thing is i have a lil brother here, he is only 6, few years back. kid 1 miles form here was almost killed by a rattle Snake. there is alot of them here, its nothing to see them here. In my book the Best snake is a Dead snake.

· Carl But 2 weeks ago a good friend kill a Big Rattle Snake in his Brood yard In a the pen with a cock and Hen, and 2 months b4 that killed one eating a young stag.......

· Floyd Merriman.............. i'm sure they will eat one if presented the oppertunity and alot of people feel the same way as you on the dead snakes........i've killed a few in the ol day's myself. my pardner, 'lil joe' is scared to death of a snake....when i catch a big bull, or rat snake around the chicken yard and put'm in a sack to haul down the road,to turn loose, he just can't understand it, as he feel's just like you.......they are something to see though and i want my grandkids to experience them 1st hand and not from one of my stories !!!!!"

tips for chicken men ........."cheap insurance"

Facebook (2) Carl Photos - chicken killers: "Floyd Merriman..................... every chicken man that doesn't have a brinkman-qbeam-spot/flood-3 million maxpower-rechargeable-spotlight from walmart, is livin in the dark ages. for $39.95 you can get one with an extra battery, as the battries only last 10-15 min., or you can plug it in your cig. lighter for cont. use. i don't know how i ever lived without mine. i'm on my 3rd one in 15 years and have probably bought 4-5 for my tight buddies......they'll "light up the world".............
