I know I'm not the only one who gets sidetracked while hunting. It might happen a little more often to me because I've most times got Louann in tow and she's prone to want to catch, dig up or pick up, every small animal, plant or piece of old bone she comes across.
The pictures are from Tuesday afternoon. We had set out to look for some bass that her brother and I could possibly catch. We fish tournaments locally and spend a serious amount of time prefishing for them.
It was windy on the river so she and I ended WAY up one of the side creeks off the St. Johns. As we're going along we start seeing small snakes (6 to 12 inches) in some of the floating vegetation. Also saw quite a few larger ones......
Needless to say Louann HAS to have one of the small ones so we spend the next couple of hours pushing the boat up into every pile of floating vegitation we come to. Saw at least 20 snakes. Managed to catch only one, picutred here. It was amazing how hard it was to nab them in that matted up stuff. Darn things can move a lot faster than you'd think.
Also slipped up on a group of small, 10 to 12 inch, alligators. One of them is pictured. Had one heck of a time convincing Louann that we could not catch one........very illegal!
Needless to say the whole bass fishing thing went out the window as we hunted snakes.
Question is: Does everyone else get distracted while hunting/fishing and do you feel like it's actually part of why we go outside?
