Re: Venomoid Question

There is a discrepancy due to not updating every file I am on and frankly I feel that is not necessary because not that many people care so why bother. I have records on disk for the past 9 years, as far as milking snakes I averaged out to 57 snakes a day, maybe some can do more then that, I can not sorry! There is a lot more to simply grabbing a snake and throwing it back in just to grab another one. Even if a snake is not to be milked it has to be maintained lets say ten snakes a day take a dump? I clean that so now we are up to 67 snakes a day. I have been working with VENEMOUS snakes for a grand total of 36 years now (That's exclusively venomous) I am 59 years old and started my work in July of 1969 at the age of 19, I received my first bite in 1972 in the field by stepping on a cottonmouth in South West Georgia that got me interested in venomous. lets go with the 67 snakes a day say 6 days a week for 36 years although I work 7 days a week 85% of the time but I digress. OK 313 days of the year I am found working X 50 snakes a day ( There are days that are +- so I deducted 17 snakes per day comes to 15.650 snakes a year at least. X 33 years (I knocked off 3 years because I had people working with me who were more experienced then myself so I feel that's about right) and if my math is right it comes to 60.545 snakes over my life time and you want to bicker over a total of 55 tags (two in the field). I have no time to continue with this, I asked to get onto some other subject but you insist on remaining here. For get it, my time is valuable to me, I came here to break up the monotony of being retired but there will always be some wet behind the erars kid who dreams of replacing the older dog. You don't have to fight me to do that, take the spot, its yours. I don't know your name but to all who are listening "This guy knows more them me and he is by far more experienced then I am so please listen to him. see, it was easy.
