While in the military I had the experience of spending quite a lot of time in the amazon... I've had my fill of snake and spiders and yes, I don't care for either nor do I care for "the rain forest"... F**k that, it's a JUNGLE!!!!

I did lean up against a tree once... One of those trees that looks like all roots going up... after 10 minutes or so it moved... It was actually a snake body intertwined with the tree I was leaning on... about 15 - 20' long... I unloaded 2 magazines of 9mm as I ran through the jungle, throwing off equipment as I went... So, I can't look at an earthworm today without flashbacks...
Did I mention the foot-long spiders they have down there???
:disgusted:

I did reference western US......aggressive snakes in southern US, Australia, the jungle environment, etc. are shoot to kill in my book. I've played in a 4 day golf event at Reynolds Plantation south of Atlanta (3 courses with water everywhere) three times and the number, size, and aggressiveness of the Copperheads on nearly every hole there is alarming........you don't encroach their environment and maintain a minimum 10' rule if you're quick.

Sorry if I came across as insensitive and thank you for your service. :thumbsup:

Oh, I didn't mean to come off as "Sally-Sensative" as I can laugh about it and most people who hear the story do. Perhaps I left out the "screaming like a little girl" as I ran while unloading my MP5 above my head pointing backward!!!
Happy to have served, gave me great bar stories...:patriot:

Paddy McGrath, a Speedhunters' reporter just wrote an article on shooting cars' basics, and it comes with a few cool shots from him.

Enjoy.

It's funny that you mention Georgia. Almost all of the venomous snakes found in the US can be found in Georgia. I have no problems with snakes. Spiders can go to hell though. F those things.

Thanks for that. Helpful to me. And they did an intro last month I see that may be helpful for those less experienced.

Yup, you can see their experience from their writeups, they DO know what they're doing! Kidding. But yeah they're pretty awesome shooters.

Thanks, good solid information. I'd debate his issue a little with people asking camera settings as that's how you learn what settings will deliver desired exposures for the shot setting. Every situation is unique, but for those trying to establish a baseline database it is helpful.

I liked the fact the featured camera is the one I just bought. :D

Nope, they're very well behaved when they don't have a pulse.

He made the mistake of popping his head up to see what was happening in a pivot where we'd been shooting sage rats for over an hour.......DOH!

I had one charge me in wooded trail setting when I was a kid.......I still have a vendetta against those mean little bastages. :D

I hear ya on the Georgia snake thang. You know why a snake won't bite a lawyer?

Professional courtesy.



Oh, and the best spider is a flat one.

Witnessed something you don't see every day coming off the first green at 8:10 this morning. Some may say nature is cruel, this is just the way it's always been. What surprised me is how close this full grown Red Tail Hawk let me get to him. I was inside 12 feet..........wished I would have had the real camera vs. the phone. :(
