Stoned and looking for rattlesnakes

[friendowl]

if you killed the snake you should have eaten it
i would love to eat snake
and keep the rattles and head

Yeah, I do that too. Just dont tell my wife. LOL

I have been thinking about heading north up to Bishop and do some hiking in the Sierras in June

Ever been up to White Mountain? Not too far from Bishop and you get an incredible view of the Sierras. You can drive up to about 10,000 feet to where the ancient bristlecone pines are. Definitely someplace woth checkingout.

lets get this straight. this was a single trek trail on a very steep incline and snakes under every rock. literally rattles going off in the bushes 5-10 feet off the trail. i couldnt just go around. now euphoric would you risk getting bit by a highly venomous snake 3-4 miles from the nearest road by yourself? you can have sever reactions from their bites and die i wasnt about to risk it. sorry if your an animal rights activist or something but i think you have no experience in the woods.

LOL, sounds like you have little experience with snakes. But, better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Herb and the outdoors were made for each other. When I lived in New Jersey, I would smoke and walk along the beach in Long Branch. I also would smoke and go hiking in the park in Atlantic Highlands.

Being in TX, I'm still trying to discover the good outdoor spots. Some guy I ran into told me about a lookout point near where I live so I may go check that out. Get blazed and watch thunderstorms...the best!!!

Check out this beauty. I found her a couple years ago, crawling across the trail about a mile or so from my house. I'd guess she was about 6-7' long.

Cool That thing is big. The rattler must be 2 inches long.

Check these out. This is no more than 3 miles from my house.

Yeah, I got a buddy (my old dealer) that moved from San Diego up to Bishop and he is an avid Fly Fisher. He loves it up there. Said he can catch 20 in a morning sometimes and no shortage of awesome places to go. I have been there a few times and I have also been to Bridgeport when I was in the Corps for a snow survival/skiing training course. IMO an incredible part of Cali. Here is a couple of hikes that I want to do.

The mountains in California are amazing. I can hike for hours and never get bored.
My son just got out of the Marines. That makes me very happy.:thumbsup:
Let me go checkout those hikes you posted.

Mt. Whitney is fucking beautiful. Becareful. She is also very tricky and deadly.
Death Valley? Know your limitations and make sure you have your topographic map. You have a real good sense of adventure. You remind me of myself. I am 50 and i find it very hard to sit still with so much natural beauty around me.
California is like no other place in America. I could never leave here.
Her trails are like the curves on a womans body. I have to explore every inch and still want more.

i had no interest in him either but he was in my way and i killed him. i dont like snakes especially poisonous ones and i have no qualms with doing the same in the future.

Thats a nice photo of the Wolf you have posted by your name. The thought process that you have towards beautiful snakes almost wiped the Wolf off the planet.
My hopes are that the next snake you encounter is dealt with in a way that leaves you and the snake alive and well. Killing it makes no sense. It is a stupid ignorant thing to do. Dont go through life being stupid and ignorant.

I have encountered Mountain Lions, Rattle Snakes, Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, and never had to kill any of them. Give yourself and the animals you encounter some space.
