That's pretty much what we figured...also, it was back around 2001, and the summers for about the last 3 years before that were hotter than normal. It's just where my family lives, it's at the head of a holler, haha. Not a common place for company trucks.

There's a pond on the property...and my grandpa had a truck come and stock it. I think they got in that way somehow..

Anyway, it freaked me the hell out, lol. Oh yeah...meant to mention this yesterday. When I was a kid I used to ride my dirtbike all over the mountains, and one day I came up on two monster snakes fighting in the road, a Rattler and a Black snake. Have you ever seen that? A black snake try to eat a living rattlesnake or copperhead? They fought hard for around 30 minutes until the Black Snake finally ate him, lol. It was before cell phones or I'd definitely have a video of it, hah.

Yup, ive seen black snakes pick on copperheads and rattlesnakes all the time.
Even though black snakes arent poisnouse they while other snakes asses around here.
