    Today I went walking along a bayou with my .22 shooting turtles and gar fish. The bayou's are so low right now I was curious what I may see.

    I almost stepped on a snake that was black with yellow spots all over. Is that a speckled king? Was going to get a pic to post but it got away. I shot the SOB almost at point blank range and missed. My dang scope was shooting a little low.

    I try catching snapping turtles but this stretch of bayou I have access to is over-run with the "red-necks". I've put quite a dent in the population since last year though.

    I caught a huge skink in my garage yesterday. He was about 10 inches long from nose to tail. I've seen him a few times.

    The number of different species I have spotted in my yard amazes me.

    Well he was a long way from my yard- which doesn't have any pests anyway.
