I have had Pine Snakes vocalize.I have caught several that I would have walked by without seeing except for their bluff and bluster "Hissy Fit". I had one pine snake attract attention to himself from 50 ft away.He seen me at that distance which is very good eye sight for a snake.I would have never seen him if he didn't call me out.I won the fight but we parted friendsI remember that night, my determination was primarily fueled by my refusal to get all of those mosquito bites for nothing! I look forward to doing it again though! Got some great pics that night.
Now, if only we could get the snakes to vocalize...
I don't think your talking to me but as a note I have only seen Dark phase rattlers in the Pines.Also Dark in WV but the ones I have seen in Tennessee were a gorgeous yellow.Pines are such a beautiful snake as are the TR. Was the TR you saw a black or yellow phase?
