Snakes not needed.........

[Okie4570]

Prime example of why we don't need them. Everyone says that they're needed for rodent control. I've personally helped in the harvesting of over two dozen large rats in the last few days. Flushed by the tractor, caught by hawks and egrets...........haven't seen any snakes laying in wait either! Awesome to watch a redtail hawk slash in and nail a rat. The cattle egrets are not so graceful.

those hawks and egrets go into rat nests and eat entire broods?

He is hungry and doesnt care about being graceful.

I am sure Snakes are needed, the point is that they are not needed around me.

I'm starting to agree. I had to kill a "good" snake (garter) yesterday in the yard because he was eating a damn good toad. Them toads eat the june bugs that are grub worms which are a pest to lawn and landscape.

Speaking of toads, got on the tractor to do a little shreddin around the house and I bet I saw 8-10 different horny toads. All were in pairs.

Justin - You found horny toads!!!!!!! Really! Do you know how rare they are?

4570 - You are missing some fun. Put a .22 on the tractor and do some running shots on the rats. That is a hoot!!

I see one or two about every other time I mow the yard, and usually along the gravel road when we go for a walk. There's a shortage? I live about 15 miles from Justin, maybe were in the HT mecca!

If you got some youngins that want to take a glimpse and hold one of the dinosaurs then bring em' by. I just took my two out on a HT hunt and we found 4. Girls picked em up and unlike a nasty old toad, these don't pee.
