Snakes!

Those are the little bastards that give you a shot walking in the yard at night wearing flip flops. Happened to a buddy of mine last summer. Walked out to his truck to grab something and wham!
Not good.. I know two different people who have killed them in the double digits (or close to it) in one night in their yards. Think it had something to do with locusts/cicadas

I've seen the same thing. Those little ones come in droves as you said. I've always heard the young ones can't control their venom so you get a full shot and no dry bite. I've heard other people say that's BS but I don’t really care to find out for myself. That's where having a couple of old country/farm cats comes in handy. I don't really care for cats but they can be pretty damned crafty at killing the snakes that come into the yard.

Figured I throw a lizard Pic into the thread. This big nasty was in the yard across from my mom's house couple of days ago.

I’ve heard that about the venom. Yea mom has always had cats on their place and you very rarely see a snake. Nice to have a few around.
 
This is a healthy SOB, about 4’ long. It’s rare to see a cottonmouth who’s head looks small. He was in a dry pond close to the house, I had taken my gun off and bye the time I retrieved it he had disappeared.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
