Hunted yesterday in Central Florida mainly because we had some nice temperatures after a rain. It is still going to be a while for Central Florida before the cubes come back. I ran into this guy on the way out. It is a Florida Scarlet snake and NOT a coral snake.
Found some pluteus cervinus and that was it for shrooms (except a few boring polypores).
NEED MORE RAIN. Even thought we got some yesterday and last Monday - WE NEED MORE.
Pretended I was Stever Irwin for about 5 minutes with this black racer! I kept heading him off and finally I got him to lunge in the air - then I watched him slide away.
I saw 3 black racers yesterday and touched 2 of them
peace and happy hunting

That's unusual. I usually find them to be pretty mean, and VERY fast!

They are pretty quick but not too quick for me . I grabbed one's tail and pulled him backwards where I could see him. The other one was kind of nice until I stirred him up a bit.
Thanks Weiliiiii...lots of Pluteus around but I was in the middle of cow patty land and saw absolutely NOTHING Oh well I'll wait a while and try it again.

I friggin jumped back like 10 feet and almost ate it in the mud I was so freaked out. I was about done for the day after that. I also got shocked by the fence which was actually kinda fun

also when I was 10 I was running really fast down a dirt road and straight up stepped on a curled up rattle snake.I looked back and saw it looking at me rattling like crazy
back then I don't think I really understood the severity of the situation. I was 100 miles from the nearest hospital

Poor snakes. I hope they didn't sustain any broken bones. 
Glad you guys didn't get bit.
