Would that handsome (?) snake be an Eastern Diamondback? Makes bird hunting a potential "Death in the Long Grass" sport....Then there are the "other reptiles"!

Geno,
You can post pics of those big european woodcock all day. I only ever got to spend one day on them but it was a day that will stay with me all my life.
Skip,
Your hunting photos never cease to be a wonder. Sorry we didn't get to make that moor hen hunt last season. I regret it more and more every time we trade an email.
I'm finally going to make it down to Florida on a hunting trip this December. Spending three days near Palm Bay trying to get a shot at Black Bellied and Fulvous Tree Ducks and maybe even the elusive Florida Mallard. I know that one is hotly disputed whether it's just a mottled duck but if I get one down that far south in FL I'm counting it as a separtate species anyway.

Duck hunting has been slow this year but I did manage to collect a banded mallard yesterday. That is the 23rd band of my hunting career. Thought you duck hunters would enjoy the image, gun is one of my 12ga Fox CE's 28".

I didn't realize that cottonmouths or "water moccasins" were that colorful; only have seen one, while fishing in South Carolina. They have a nasty reputation among fishermen; can't imagine they are exactly revered among duck hunters, either. Dogs at risk?

Beautiful photos all. Keep them coming, please.
Skip, I won't dispute you if you say that's a cottonmouth, but ya'll must have some kind of subspecies down there I've never seen. I've been around moccasins and rattlers all my life and, though I've seen moccasins in slightly differing color phases, I've never seen one that comes that close to looking like a rattler. Ordinarily, too, a moccasin at that distance will have it's mouth open showing you why it got it's name, Cottonmouth.
Gorgeous photos, Skip.
May God bless America and those who defend her.
