Bill, I often hunt in Marion County along the St. Johns River...beautiful country and lots of turkeys... and bears..That is a good looking Osceola you have there...and looks like an old cow pen  behind you.

Porter, why would be thinking snakes when you are sitting in 8 degrees below zero??!!..My brain would be frozen!!

Charlie good thing about -8....  snakes are not very active :) !!!!

   That old bus was "Pappy's Camp" and outfitted with beds and a cook stove...but that was before the government took the land...Pappy was a descendant of some of the early settlers in this area ...I didn't check it for snakes today ;D


... great pics of what looks to be a great area Charlie - good luck with those Oceola gobblers this spring my friend ... 8)

... the pic of "Pappy's Camp" brings to mind "if those walls could talk" - can just imagine the stories - very cool !!! ... *cool*

the smell of that Florida air, a cool morning and those lomgbeards going beserk.....
I cannot wait.
Tha torments me not being able to be there right now.
Great pics Charlie

about the only benefit I can think of with wild hogs .....if there are enough of them ---I understand they will eat those snake. Usually dont see that many around my place down close to Charlies....and that a good thing. I bet that ole bus if full of em...you'd never ...never get me in there. Heck --they even have another snake down there I dont have where I hunt here in Tennessee---a nasty little one---Coral snake----it effects the nervous system---Porter has obviously fallen victim to on of those somewhere in his past.....
I would rather run into any gator as one of those pygmy rattlers, diamonbacks, water moccissin or aven a green snake for that matter.
I hate carrying that many DEPENDS in my vest !!!!!!
