CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

Closest I've had them in residence was about 400' ft from my house here on this place. It's a rare year that I don't have at least one here in one of the ponds, and there are lots of them in the river that is my Eastern border.
A little fella that I've posted a pic of before. In 04, there was one over 10' long that my father used to feed chicken to, hung off the end of a long pole. He'd come right up on the bank to grab it off the pole.

When I lived in Louisiana, one of my homes for about 7 years was less than 300 yards from where Bayou Cortableu and Bayou Teche intersected. The bayous were full of them and you had to really watch yourself fishing there, but I never heard of the gators getting out far from the banks to stroll about.

Florida is full of entertainment and you don't even have to leave home to find it.....from wildlife, to snowbirds....from loose farm animals to redneck stupidity....hard for a person not to love the land of sun, fun and parasites.... never a dull moment for sure

Here is Gabbie after a hard few hours romp in the backyard...... .....she came in and got some food and crashed.....

Poor abused dog. How dare you let her play, be happy, and spoil her? Too bad all dogs arent so loved!

 

[B&B Happy goats]

Yes Rammy it is too bad...we have three bedrooms cat has one, dogs have another one, with crib matterss and fitted crib sheets...not spoild here ...but they are not allowed on the people furniture or get people food...

Since you said there is a TSC and feed stores in the area, they would be some of your best bet to ask about locals keeping chickens and such. I had a friend in that area and have been down that way in the past. He has passed away, but if I ever get the hankering to come down I will post a BIG notice here and maybe we can all get together.... I think that it is great that @B&B Happy goats is not so terribly far from you. Nice to be able to have some friends that have somewhat similar situations....

 

[CntryBoy777]

@farmerjan well if ya get down this way ya sure have a place to stay....I would be totally upset if ya didn't spend at least a night or 2.....just PM me and we will mark the calendar and clear the schedule.....if there is a get to together we will surely pitch in with something!!.....

 

[B&B Happy goats]

@farmerjan we probably could round up a few BYH people and get together for sure !

I saw some rather large moccasins slithering around also.

Must have been for Bigfoot!

When we lived in SC we often saw gators in the storm drain ponds all around the subdivision but we weren't far from a river and lake that was full of gators. If you want to see a gator appear to be trying to ring a door bell just google "alligator doorbell Moncks Corner". That was right around the corner from our old home. The gator in this picture left of center doesn't show up well as it wasn't very big (about 6').

I've seen that picture with the caption; Thank God! I thought it was Jehovah's Witness!
