Okies in the BYC The Original

[nnbreeder]

Oh boy that can only mean one thing!!

The Okeene Rattlesnake Roundup.

The Gypsum hills that are around Okarche and Watonga are prime grounds for them critters. Teva's old gelding was broke out over there and is used to them. Well a few years back she was trail riding in the hills and a rattler started buzzing, Sundance just side-stepped and continued on. Teva looked back and all of the other horses didn't do quite as well. There were horses and riders scattered everywhere!!

61 Snakes. Some of the larger one were in the back of the pipe. About 6 years ago in the same pipe we found a den of them almost the same as


this pile. They were found in Training Area 43 up by Apache Gate. The largest one was 7' 3 1/2 " . the largest I have caught is 9' 4 " near McKracken Pond.

Thanks! I did that on Monday morning, first thing! She has been seen, I'm afraid with her being stolen, then someone else picking her up that she may decide to cut through the woods and we'll never find her! I'm just going to keep driving around out there and stopping every little bit. Hopefully she'll hear me and find her way.

So sorry she's gone, Shelly - I hope you find her!

Hey Beth! Thanks for the well-wishes. I've been through Leonard 4 times today...nothing. Even went to a house where she was seen this morning and looked around and called. I worry mostly at night because of the coyotes. I figure she's too small for the mountain lion to worry with.

So far, she's been sticking to the main roads and seems to be heading the right direction this time. I'll know more in the morning. I'm planning on getting up early and driving around looking for her. Seems she's been seen from 7-8 am and 5-6 pm. Not sure where she goes during the day, though.

Every report I've gotten, has her getting closer. She's quit letting people catch her, though. I think she's getting frustrated they aren't bringing her home! LOL! One of the people this morning was my DD's friend, that she knows! She wouldn't let her get her, though. We know 2 people have picked her up, and she's gotten away from both of them. I'm hoping that she finds a friendly dog and stays with them at night, before she keeps heading south. She's pretty smart, so I bet she'll be home by the weekend...barring any people or predator mishaps.

My neighbor is going trailriding over near where she's been sighted, so she might follow him home. I'm going to keep looking and we are planning a big "Welcome Home" cook-out when she gets back! She's got over 50 Facebook friends right now. I'm impressed!

I hope you're doing well! Congrats on the new babies! I've got a few myself. Thought I was getting Dark Cornish, but they ended up being Buttercups. Completely worthless to me! LOL! Now I'm just going to raise them up and sell them. They're pretty, but after the brutal winter we had, I said no more straight combs! My poor Barred Rock looks pitiful! I like my EE roos!

Would there be anyone interested in EE chicks? I have a guy that is running out of room in his bator and he giving me a bunch of eggs and wandering if anyone here may be interested? Actually I am just trying to do my part to enable the people that need enabling!!!
