Re: Anyone ever tried using bait to attract Nerodia?
One thing to watch out for. If you put fish in your wire minnow/bait traps in an attempt to attract nerodia (at least in my area) the raccoons tear the traps apart to get at the bait. Been there, done that.

Re: Black vultures preying on live red eared sliders
I looked up black vultures one time because a guy had told me he saw one carrying a live snake and i didn't believe him. The book says of black vultures (but not of turkey vultures) "occasionally kills and eats prey."

Re: GIANT Agkistrodon! FOX NEWS says so... It must be true!
the willingness of people, including news outlets, to believe snake "stories" never ceases to amaze me. if they fall for an 87-pound cottonmouth, would they believe a 200-lb. largemouth bass? a 400-lb. raccoon?
