Tips for checking plants (outdoors)

For those who grow outdoors, I use to collect snakes and would spend many hours in the woods. I never thought about growing Marijuana back then, I didn't use it at that time in my life.

I read many posts about people worrying about getting caught or even running into other people well they are checking on their plants.

I would run into people who owned the land I was on and was always confronted, "what are you doing out here". Looking for snakes sir. When you check on your plants, bring an old pillowcase with you, as that is what most snake hobbyist use to put their findings in. I used snake tongs but a golf club or something like that works well and will be believable if caught. If your just walking around in the woods, I would wonder wtf you were doing as well and maybe try and follow your path after you left the area but if it looks like you were really going after snakes, most people wont think twice about what you were doing and definitely wont have a reason to follow your trail. Make sure you're dressed to get dirty; looking for snakes in shorts or dress pants is not believable.

pretty good idea..........but in england we don't particually have many snakes apart from adders and the ones in pet shops :S

Good point, Binoculars and a bird book :D

The 1996 assessments helped to focus attention on a suite of widespread but rapidly declining birds of farmed land, such as the turtle dove, the skylark and the corn bunting. It is generally accepted that these species have declined because of agricultural intensification, and in the last few years a range of schemes have been introduced to help them. All of the birds of farmed land that were on the red list in the earlier assessments are still there. In addition, another farmland bird, the yellowhammer, has joined them. Many red list species remain relatively common in the countryside despite substantial declines.
