  • who do you hate?

    if there is any possibility that a person will be walking near or where my dog does his business, I will clean it up. it, like spitting your gum on the sidewalk, takes zero time to correct and can ruin a day if you are the victim......


    I hate people who dont think about other people at all

  • Rattle Rattle

    basic suggestion include


    limiting their food- not easy for you to do given the rodents live there too


    limiting their hiding spots - agains not too easy because it is a natural plot


    trapping and destroying them- probably your best bet..commercial snake traps use sticky adhesives and hold the snake till it dies or you destroy it- animal control in AZ recommends burning or drownign the snakes while still in the traps to avoid bites

    in all seriousness, here are some tips from folks in arizona


    Build and Maintain a Rattlesnake-Proof Fence
    Step 1
    Purchase fencing that is solid or contains mesh with spacing of 1/4 inch or less. Make sure the fence is at least 3-feet tall.


    Step 2
    Bury at least 2 inches of the fence underground to prevent rattlesnakes from burrowing underneath.


    Step 3
    Angle the fence away from the property at a 30-degree angle.


    Step 4
    Avoid planting trees or shrubs near the fence. Snake are good climbers, and they can then drop into the backyard if vegetation is close to the fence.


    Maintain the Backyard
    Step 1
    Remove debris piles in the yard. Rattlesnakes favor hiding under rocks or old boards, waiting for unsuspecting rodents to wander by. Be careful when removing the debris, in case a snake is already there.


    Step 2
    Utilize nonvenomous snakes to rid the yard of rattlesnakes. The king snake will kill and eat rattlers. Gopher snakes and racers are proprietary and will force rattlesnakes to leave the area.


    Step 3
    Examine the ground in the backyard. Fill in all gopher and mole holes to prevent rattlesnakes from taking up residence in them.


    Step 4
    Trim all shrubbery in the backyard so there is a visible clearance between the greenery and the ground. This removes potential hiding spots for snakes.

    burros and lechon...nice benefits to having your property stocked with them :)



    i think all signs point to a mongoose, homer simpson and a razor wire moat <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • water in the ears

    i slightly tilt my head to the side where i hear the water and then hop..i find this more successful than simply hopping and hoping :)


    i agree about ISO after swimming, just to be safe w bacteria and such, but it is a nice drying tool too

  • pv conditions 7/18

    Steven i really agree.. I love being underwater because it is an alien landscape, but I am intimately familiar with our reefs...to see other worlds underwater is so cool to me

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    that is very true Hau...I have been a competant swimmer my whole life, working as a LG at my local JCC as a kid and helping with volunteer beach watch on KB when I was in high school...I am a STRONG guy in the water and I have been in a few hairy situations when Tropical activity off the coast had things stirred up...


    DONT THINK YOU ARE TOO GOOD OF A SWIMMER TO BE SCREWED...no fish or gear is worth your life..pursue vertical snappers this weekend :toast:

  • defending the vandenburg


    Don, I think I must not have been clear in my origianl post...I have nothing against pure freedivers and Iimagine many of them are incredible peple with amazing stories and attitutdes...I was trying to say that spearfishing has a reputation and a stigma and pure freediving does not, as far as i know.



    I think the idea of simply enjoying the ocean in any way is pretty much ideal
