Was planting some trees yesterday with the 9 yo. I told her to not follow me so close in case I had to back up in a hurry... when I explained it she kept about 15 feet back!

I was taught growing up to kill any snake but I dont do that now.
On our property I've seen a lot of non poisinous snakes but no poisinous snakes.
Never kill a King snake, they kill and eat the poisinous snakes.

I had a dream last night that I was working a bird and reached down next to me to get my box call only to hear leaves rustling next to my hand. I looked and a cotton mouth was about to strike. I rolled away and shot the SOB! I woke up sweating! True story.

I went out to pull a camera at lunch a few minutes ago, and ran over a moccasin. It was in some soft dirt and didn't kill him so I shot him. They are on the move

I had a rattlesnake last fall who thought he was superman. Too bad my disk is made from kryptonite.

Exactly. As long as it's not in the chicken coop, all non-venomous guys get a pass. Growing up, we were taught to catch chicken snakes and bring them to the barn and corn crib to catch rats. I've got a neat video from last summer of a Gray Rat snake hanging from the barn bar joists eating the babies out of a bird's nest.

About stepped on a great big ol cottonmouth today. Stuck my truck and was walking up to the barn to get a tractor. There was a mud hole at the gate surrounded by a bunch of briars, tried to get around the mud hole and jumped something, thought it was a rabbit, it wasn't. It was a moccasin about as big around as my wrist and I damn near stepped on it. Bout chit myself, backed out and took the long way around. Be careful

Back in my timber-buying days, I was flagging a property line and stepped on something going through some thick stuff that felt funny. It felt like I was standing on a water balloon that didn't bust. I stepped off it, turned and realized that I'd dead centered a healthy timber rattler, and I look again, as see another one lying beside it just a few inches away. I missed the second one by several inches in front of my toe, but I'm fairly certain I hit the first one in the shallow void between my slightly raised heel and ball of the foot on my boots, so I didn't put all my weight on him. He never reacted nor rattled, and both just moseyed on off into the brush.

I don't mind snakes, and have caught my fair share of them, but that was definitely one time that I had my hair stand on end, realizing that I'd actually stepped on one. I did have my knee-high snake gators on that day, so hopefully that would have discouraged a calf bite.. but that scenario was a prime chance to get struck. I still can't believe that they never 'acted up'.

I have a king snake that lives under the driveway slab right next to my house. I've seen him and talked to him the past few days and I don't dare tell the wife about him. She would never understand that he's the kind of snake you want around the house


When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
