Yeah, temperatures were nice yesterday. We have seen some hot ones on opening day, eh?
That's a timber rattler, Mike. Colors and markings were exceptionally bright, like he recently shed his skin, as Gil said. Also, it warn't no trouble. It's been fun.
I've got 10 fields of sesame this year, benne, to some. I got a contract to grow it this year, something new. Having grown it a little in the past strictly for doves, I jumped on the chance to grow some for harvest. Several reasons. Deer and hogs absolutely will not eat it, it is a great rotation crop for peanuts, which I grow, cheap to grow and, last but not least, dove and quail absolutely love it. Sesame to a dove is like crack to a junkie. Once they find it you can't run them off. I may continue this thread with a switch to sesame. I hope to have some good shooting over the fields after I harvest them, in the late season.
