    I’m riding along and catch a stow away out of the corner of my eye. :eek: I had been on the tractor for 30 minutes before it decided to bail out.

    Snakes on a tractor. Coming to a theatre near you.

    Luckily most of the ones i encounter around here are on the small size.

    Haven’t seen a black snake round here for many years. They used to be a bit more common.

    I’ve seen about 4 so far this summer. 3 while mowing pastures and one up in the yard. The one in the yard eventually made it up into one of the bird houses but by the time my wife spotted him it was too late to take any decisive action so just let him slither away to keep the mice out of the woodpile.

    I picked up a hitchhiker once.

    After we started driving, he asked me how I knew that he wasn’t a Serial Killer?

    I replied that the odds of TWO random Serial Killers being in the same vehicle were beyond Astronomical.

    He promptly got out.

    I have to imagine that it was painful though, I was still driving 65mph when he got out :eek:

    Dayum, that had to Hurt:whistle:

    Have not seen any yet this year but see them fairly regular around the property and am pleased when I do. We tend to take offense when they 'invade our spaces' but usually they are there for a reason and it's not to scare you. I'm good with snakes so long as I don't hear a rattle or smell cucumber around here.

    Negative, Ghost Rider.

    Friendly or unfriendly, I don’t care.

    :thumbs: I have a coworker...big burly guy, outdoorsy. Turns into a 10 year old girl if he sees a snake. :rofl: :lol:

    Most of us have a 'thing'. Mine's your avatar. No bueno. I'll fight any snake to the death and win. A bear? Ugh. Can outrun me, outfight me and can climb & swim. :headbang:
