Re: Big night last night *TEASER*

First, welcome to AR mikemike...
unfortunately, he was unable to make our 'welcome to arkansas roadcruising mixer'...but we went ahead without him.  not a bad night to be road cruising...

40 AOR copperheads
5 DOR copperheads
1 AOR pigmy
1 AOR ribbon
3 AOR speckeled kings
3 AOR milk snakes
2 AOR garter snakes
2 AOR rough earth snakes
1 AOR GP rat snake
1 AOR timber rattlesnake
1 DOR rough green

Ok, i see some of you sneering at those numbers...so to be honest, we were in 2 vehicles...but thats still a GREAT night of roadcruising.  Diversity was good...and as you can tell, the copperhead population seems to be safe.  lol

pictures....uh....one of these days.  A couple of the milks were screamers!

Re: Big night last night *TEASER*

Dang. I'm not too excited that I ended up missing this...
I found a DOR rough earth snake and a moccasin that was gone by the time I could finally get stopped and turned around.

Re: Big night last night *TEASER*

Last night was more of just driving back from a spot my dad wanted to go fishing at, so tonight I'll be actually cruising somewhere...

Re: Big night last night *TEASER*

I'm sure Brad will come back later with his pics because he took way more than me. Here are the ones I took. Remember I did not see the Pig  sad .

So out of 20 Copperheads, I took a pic of one.

Just realized that we did not see a Black Rat. Between the two vehicles we did see most of what you expect. No ringnecks, browns or redbellys either but oh well. I think the other species made up for it.

Now to my favorites. We found three Red Milks total:

I know many of you prefer the buzztails, so I held it till last.

As found

Now as we were all standing around admiring this fine animal, Jerrod went to hook it. Then I yelled mouse. Not but a few feet away was a mouse gnawing on a DOR Rough Green Snake. We let the snake be in hopes of it pursuing the mouse. No luck, but the snake did get closer to the mouse.

Re: Big night last night *TEASER*

Yall need to learn how to triage your photos.  Its not like you need to keep all 20 you take of a single subject.  Keep only the best.  Sure makes the editing go by faster!

Agreed. Mine went down the tube when I started doing bird photography. Takes forever to go through 20+ bird photos of 10+ species.
