A family member came by to take a photo of the nest and the chicks so I get up and take them over to it and there was a 2' bull snake that had his mouth on the head of one of the chicks. I ran in the garage and grabbed the limb cutters and cut his head off. Then I was setting on the deck having a cold one, one evening, and red bird flew onto a low limb and just froze- I watch for a minute, and it hits me something got that bird. I grab my 357 I had just inside the door on top of the china cabinet - walked over and there and it was a 3' bull snake wrapped around that one. Laid a couple of shots his way which missed but he is in a hurry to get the hell out of there. Another time when it was about 45 degrees outside, I was checking out an old well on my place and it had a metal cap over the 8" pvc casing. I pull that cap off and out falls a little 2' bull snake. Later on a warm day, I am working in the back yard there is a black snake about 10' long. I told him to get to work on all the riff raft.</p></blockquote><p></p>
