I got a charge out of the following conversation, thought some you may also appreciate the humor.
Yesterday while checking on some deer stands and filling feeders I heard two pistol shots. When I asked the guy with me what he was shooting at, he replied, “a water snake.” Its so dry the creek hasn’t had water for a long while, the spring is almost dry and the nearest water of aany size is about five miles away so I couldn’t figure out what he was talking about.
I replied, “a water snake/” “Yes” he says. I then ask. what the heck you talking about, there are not any water snake around here, maybe a copperhead or a rattler, but no water snakes”
He said, “when I stepped down off the stairs to the deer blind I was checking I heard a rattling, I looked down and there was a five foot snake at my feet, I felt the water running down my leg as I was firing two rounds of .357 shoot shells into the snake. His pants were wet and he had powder burns on his lower pants leg and boot.
Now I understand this water snake thing…………..
