A lot of tough steaks in that old dinosaur....one of the reasons I hate fishing the rivers around Savannah...

Those critters look at us as fish bait.....glad we have our local animals and reptiles...

Our snakes and bears are begining hibernation...saw a cotton tail in the rear yard tonight...didn't scare me one bit...no worries, mate!

I saw one garter snake today from my treestand, hunting near an almost bone dry creek. Weird seeing a snake in November.

I've seen garter snakes basking in every month of the year. Even on top of the snow.

[Threerun]

Huh- never seen that one either. Seems they would be easy pickings on top of white snow.

You would think so. I guess they stay close enough to cover. They're pretty cold-tolerant. I've seen them quite active (as in, still wiggly and active enough to musk me) down into the 40's.
