Critters on the course you ran into...

We saw a brownish colored snake by the water at Fritz. And you know what that means. Brownish snake by water = water moccasin. Yep. Positively every time.

Or not. :p
 
Ok so I didn't have my camera today, of course. On our way to a friends private course we had a mountain lion run across the road and I guess last night he had a bear bust into his car and eat the chocolate cake he had put in there 10 minutes prior.
 
Was at Idlewild yesterday. On the long pad at 14 there was a deer about 40 feet up the fairway. She didn't notice me so I sat there for about five minutes taking a break, watching her. Eventually I threw pretty much over her and she still didn't notice me or the disc. I walked to within about 20 feet of her before she stopped eating, starred at me, and then took off.
 
A few weeks ago at my local course there was a deer standing right behind the basket of hole seven....Almost hit it on a 20ft putt!!!
 
My wife and I walked among a group of about a dozen wild turkeys this past weekend at Blendon Woods (Columbus, OH) near basket #8. I couldn't help but think about all the guys that spend countless hours and who knows how much money just trying to get close enough to shoot one. I could have taken out a few with a well placed skip shot!

I'm not even sure there are many dangerous snakes in NC...

6 kinds, three rattlesnakes, cottonmouth, copperhead and coral snake.

I lived in the Triad for a year and always was on the lookout for snakes at Cedarock/Wellspring. Ended up seeing a few Copperheads. Well worth the risk of that beautiful park.:thmbup: NC is not only full of dangerous snakes but spiders too. I killed a couple black widows in my house..
 
Waiting to tee off on hole 11 at Coldbrook Park (SW MI) I watched a squirrel fall about 30 feet off a branch bounce off the ground and go running back up the same tree not five feet from me. I was laughing for the rest of the round.
 
usually just deer, squirrels, spiders, owls, the occasional hawk, peoples' dogs, chipmunks, garden snakes, and bees. i was attacked by wasps once too while looking for a friends' disc when i stepped on a dirtwasp nest

they chased me
 
Walking between holes today at Idlewild (Scrapyard in Charlotte) and BigJerm stops to look at a strange looking thing growing on a branch next to some dead leaves. As he moves a leaf to get a closer look it takes a minute but he realizes....

It's a bat! He was just chillin there hanging upside down not really interested in moving much but he was definitely alive. Pics forthcoming.

He was still there during our second round.
 
As I was scoping out new holes at JP Moseley in Stockbridge GA, I startled a wild turkey midway of what was to become hole#14. I never knew that turkeys could fly so well! Bonus: 6-8 eggs from where the turkey layed.
 
During a mini at lake nacogdoches dgc about a month or so ago I saw a coral snake, definitely one of the cooler critters I've seen
