That's a lot of snakes.
Patterson Drilling, Abilene, TX yard--- doing some cleanup around the yard. The forklift driver picked up a "pit" (10 ft by 10 ft by 30 ft), set it back down and called the office. "I need some people out here with shotguns". Three men showed up. As many got away as were killed----62.
That's a lot of snakes.
That reminds me:
That is a kick-ass poster.
disgusting, but not wrong
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww....I hate snakes.
I like snakes.
The ones that escaped will seek revenge.
They are cool.
Poor snakes
In the far Southeast side my father is building a house and I was helping him clear up brush last weekend. Apparently there is a big snake boom down there too. The neighbors dog got bit by a copper head while we were working clearing the brush and it had to be taken to the vet... but rattlers are 10x worse.
and that's pretty ed up that 62 got away. .
I had to study them in college and my professor made us handle all the dead ones over and over again so we could identify them for a test we had to take. I hated it. Cold blooded just like my ex.
As long as they're not on a plane...
Is there nothing three shotguns can't handle?
Cold blooded just like my ex.
Ouch. Thats cold.
I would have started regulating with the forklift.
That was my first tought....why didn't he just start running over the mofos?
Unless he was afraid some would start climbing up the forklift....
I doubt theyre just gonna sit there and get ed up as a large noisy vehicle slowly crushes them.
We got motha in snakes on the motha ing forklift!!!!!!
That would be a very quick movie. Cool, but definitely short action.
, I just realized I'm going to be at a conference on August 18th.
I can just picture Samuel L. Jackson saying those words!
Damn thats a lot of big snakes in one place. That couldn't be "new" news. Must have been in wintertime when they were semi-hibernating. They just couldn't have found enough to eat in a pipeyard to survive this time of year.
We had a ranch leased about 15 miles on the other side of the Nueces River (past Uvalde) when I was in high school...it had a "lost" hand dug shaft (probably prospectors from the 1800's) that I found wandering around out in the brush...it was dug on a rocky ridge and was about 6' wide and 40' deep. In the wintertime rattlesnakes apparently worked their way down through cracks and crevices in the rock to this well to hibernate...On warm winter days at high noon the snakes would come out into the well to "warm up"...it was very neat...I would walk in there and watch them a lot...I have seen as many as 40-50 rattlesnakes in there all piled up together...
I am no rattlesnake lover and have literally killed hundreds in my lifetime and have been struck on the pants leg twice...(didn't get through the boots) but it just didn't seem fair to shoot them down in there...
I would go to that ranch on school Christmas break and stay there by myself during the week from the time I was 14....Dad and his friends would come out on the weekends...
I took a "friend" with me my senior year in high school and showed him my "secret" place...and made him promise not to mess with the snakes...he apparently couldn't stand it...he snuck back and shot down into the shaft and killed a couple of them...I was furious...we basically broke up our "friendship" over it...
The snakes never came back while we had that place leased...
Let me get this straight:
So you had a male "friend" (quotes yours) who you used to take to your "secret place" to show him your "snakes"?
Can't believe you of all people left yourself open for that.
