Critters captured on camera

I usually try to leave black snakes alone, but if he is in your chicken shack AND he is at head height, all bets are off!

Yup. Stay outta my coop and live I always say...

He was on the ground leaving the duck nesting spot when I saw him, and went up the 2x4 FAST... I got him at between 3-4 feet up, that was far enough for me!

I only kill the black snakes in the coop, or like on the porch where my 5 year old daughter might be playing...

Yep, they love eggs, so gotta keep 'em out!

 

[Pine Strip]

Grazing on the green grass, a simple scene that is dissapearing from the American landscape.

Killed this Black snake with a shovel inside my chicken shack as he CLIMBED STRAIGHT UP the 2x4 wall stud trying to either get away or attack me...

The rake is close enough to 6' we will not split any hairs over it...

I guess I should have known they can climb straight up a 2x4... but it creeped me out a bit in all honesty.

Be well all,

David

Was probably going after the rats and mice in your chicken coop. Pretty big snake though!

Found this skin in my pole barn, gathered it up (I hang em up in different spots) and went about my chores and happened to look up and got a little surprise. Guessing He was about 6ft because the skin measured a little over 5 1/2 ft. I caught him and took him down to the woods and let him go. Haven't seen him back - Yet- saw a mouse though....

My sister puts golf balls in the hen nests. It slows the white oak snakes down trying to digest one.

I have heard tale of the same thing, only the snake can't "bust" the golf ball and gets hung up going out through the chicken wire!
