now, thanks to the internet, everyone hears about every incident relatively quickly. |

I showed them how harmless he was, and how they had scared him to death,, there was no need in shooting him, as he was already dead,, everyone laughed, and they then left him alone. Perhaps I saved another harmless snake.

I shoot poisonous snakes for the same reasons people pull poison Ivy or swat
mosquitos... it makes a ton of sense.

I grew up working in my folks grocery store. It was in a rural area of the
desert. We routinely killed poisonous snakes for the safety of our customers. Later when I learned how tasty a rattlsenake is I always deep fat fcried the larger ones, and of coursed tacked out and dried the skins. I don't believe in wasting things if I can help it. -- Public Fishing & Boating Forums Fishing & Boating Link Index www.YumaBassMan.com "Bob Rickard" wrote in message m...

It would be better if they made fishing vests of kevlar (bullet and stab
proof). I've had several incidents with wackos while night fishing. |

From the article it would seem they should look at the shots the
photographer took and see if he has pictures of the guy with the gun aimed at the boats and not at the ground . That would give them plenty of grounds to bust the shooter . Ed "Henry Hefner" wrote in message ... Another shooting: http://tinyurl.com/2kbzo |

Now that looks like it would get the attention of anyone shooting at a
fisherman. I have always been of the opinion that people that shoot at other people, when not in self defense, should carry very high fire insurance!

Rodney, not to turn this thread into a snake discussion, you are highly
mistaken... 1) Puff adders (Bitis arietans) do not occur in the United States, only in Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan (thank God). 2) Puff adders are highly poisonous. Its venom is strongly hemotoxic, destroying bloods cells and causing extensive tissue damage. Check that Peterson Field Guide to see the snake you are speaking of, snake id's are not to be taken lightly...

Rodney, not to turn this thread into a snake discussion, you are highly mistaken... No I'm not,,, again :-) Heterodon platyrhinos, Eastern Hognose, also known as the "The American Puff Adder" (don't believe me ? do a search on the name) Since it was quite clear I was not in the middle east, there could be no mistakes made of finding the other one Check that Peterson Field Guide to see the snake you are speaking of, snake id's are not to be taken lightly... I own that book as well as i/2 a dozen other reptile field manuals, down here the Eastern Hognose is always called a puff adder, due to it puffing it's self up to look meaner than it is, if this fails, then he plays dead. About as harmless as a chicken snake,, oh I'm sorry,, a Gray Rat Snake to you guys :-), we call them chicken snakes down here because they are always getting in the hen house after rats I Have spent many years afield, and I have caught many snakes, non poisonous as well as poisonous ones, I know my reptiles, and I never take them lightly -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

not to belabor the snake thread, but as far as any discrepancies in
names goes, it's probably just a regional/slang issue. For instance, what some folks call ruffed grouse, we call partridge. There are many other examples but you get the idea. |

So true Mr Buck, the Eastern Hognose is NOT a puff adder. That's like
calling a garter snake a coral snake... Warren "J Buck" wrote in message ... not to belabor the snake thread, but as far as any discrepancies in names goes, it's probably just a regional/slang issue.

Sounds like an action filled Hollywood movie. Just like the guy who never
has to reload his 1911 .45, fires way more than 8 shots (7 + 1 in the barrel), takes out the bad guys who are better equipped, and does this at great distances while falling down.
