Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Wow you got lucky. The copperhead and cottonmouth are almost the same snake, they can even interbreed although rare. There is a video circulating of a CH and CM fighting over a female.

CMs are more aggressive while CH will not bite unless you touch them most of the time. My dog Jack was bitten last year by a beautiful CH who ended up with a 9mm to the head. Prednisone and Benadryl and he was fine in a few days.

CHs typically don’t do a full boogie bite the first time, it’s dogs that grab em and hold on that usually die because the snake decides to bite again with a full load.

CMs usually give you the business first bite, you should have played powerball that day.

Here was mr. dogbiter pre-9mm

Oh man that fuckin' sucks anyway! We saw a lot of them down in Hunter AAF/Ft. Stewart. The worst time for cottonmouths was when they had their young and you'd get those 'nesting balls' Or, late summer they hang out in low hanging branches and we're doing a boat movement up the Ogeechee or Canoochee. You'd hit a branch and they'd drop into the rubber boat. Little turds.
They aren't so much aggressive though as super-defensive. Easterns were common down in FL. (Eglin/Hurlburt. They loved hangin' out in the palmetto rims above creeks. Then there's the pygmy's...cutest li'l rattlesnake you ever did see. About the size of a pencil fully grown. Added: Neither of them was very aggressive. You sure as hell don't want to get nailed by an Eastern though. They put out gobs of very potent venom.

I was helping an instructor set up a demo on the DIT range at Hurlburt and he told me, "Watch out for Joe. He lives under and in the target house. We leave him alone because he keeps the rats under control. " I asked what "Joe" was. "Oh, just your common black snake. Sure enough, Joe was coiled up under the back corner of the shed. Looked a lot like this guy.

When word got around about Joe's true identity, they called Jackson Guard to relocate him.

I have a world of respect for snakes and their part in nature....mostly 🤨
BUT I have no problems killing the “hot ones”, if they get too close to my surroundings.
 
Friends did rattlesnake training for their dogs

Dog gets an oversized shock collar

they pen off an area
Take rattlesnakes from a bag and tape their mouths shut

snakes get released in the pen

Dogs get added into the pen

when the dog sniffs the snake- they get a shock

each time they get near a snake - zap

Dogs quickly learn- that smell = pain.

It’s expensive but cheap if you live in snake country. Especially for LEO dogs that have a $50k price tag.

Ditto, but not on Hurlburt Field or Eglin reservation. Couple decades ago, a guy killed a rattler on one of the ranges. Word got out, the federal game boys paid him a visit and he wasn't smart enough to "never talk to the cops." Don't recall exactly, but lawyer and fines cost him multi-thousands. I believe he was banned from the installations. as well.

Some folks get quite pissy when you kill some snakes. I guess some are endangered ?
We have plenty Cottonmouths & Copperheads the last couple of years. My daughter lives on the Missouri border and she’s killed 5 Copperheads this Summer. Their city has a “ no shoot” anything law👎
She uses a sharp garden hoe , works great 👍
 
Could someone help me find the meme/ short video where trump is supposedly arguing over buying a new gun with his wife and he is offering to negotiate but says he can do it if he wants?
It is in here but I can’t find it.
 
Y’all, my grandson needs prayer. He has had about 20 hours of diarrhea and temp as high as 102. At the pedo urgent care last night they tested him for C19 and Strep and the doc said that it was probably strep. Makes no sense with the diarrhea.

Her regular doc told her today to take him to Wake Med Hospital. He’s not drinking and at times he’s been writhing with stomach pain. I was almost beside myself.

Pray for Liam. I can’t go due to hospital rules about the stupid virus and I’m freaking out a little here.

Lawless, prayers for the little guy. it's heartbreaking when children suffer....i truly hope whatever it is he gets better quick and easy. Glad he's going to the hospital. Heard Wake Med is a great place....Pediatric specialists in a Level 1 trauma center so you know they're awesome.

Done! Hang in there you two.
 
Aaaaaand the SniperHide “TrumpBoys” are starting their hate campaign against a member with a different opinion

Trump or go home

No room for memes against Trump. You WILL be punished by The TrumpBoys from SH
No room for stupid shit that has no basis in fact! If you are a liberal and don't want your feelings hurt don't post here! We know how to find facts that represent the truth not BS opinions and media lies! Sorry!
 
@Jigstick - you must be a smart feller. I would venture down those thoughts too.
or we is both extruh speshuul.😁

the writhing pain is what is most suspect to me.
as long as he can stay hydrated, they should be able to sort him out in short order, get some treatment going.

prayers sent.
