Dullahan 0 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I have two "Nutty" friends who are Hunting mad. Because the weather is now getting warmer it is the time when Adders and Grass snakes are out looking for a mate. These two "Nutcases" have decided to to go to Winterton in Norfolk to capture BY HAND adders and Grass snakes which are plentiful around grass and heathland at this time of the year. When asked WHY the reply was "It is easy to hunt a quarry that can't fight back". The Adder is the only poisonous British snake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
