As a kid, we used to get them in the chicken coop all the time. Often 5'+ with the occasional six footer. Their hides are tough and some of the trad guys use then to back self bows. Makes for a cool pattern!
I had one about 18" long climb a 20 foot tall 2" pipe joint and get in my martin house couple years ago!! I would have loved to have watched that sucker climb that slick galvanized pipe, swing out and get into that bird house!! He got a couple hatchlings but it did't end well for him...
