I've killed twelve this year on creeks I've been on.

Fairly certain you get a drop from that, in same condition, no better line of shot

Same as fire ants in your stance

I agree with Out Back in that Rattlers have the calmest demeanor of all the venomous snakes, but one that’s hanging out that close to a place where humans tread wouldn’t get a pass. I might would try to relocate if it was possible to do so safely, but folks get bit messin with snakes so it may have to go on to the afterlife. This thread is getting me thinking about buying a new pair of snake boots before the bow opener.

I been stuck in an enclosed spot with one. I had one on my leg. I had one strike Te
I hate the evil bastages

Please continue the good work! And post more pictures

A few I’ve seen this year

big country,

What kind of snake in the first pic? That corn snake has some nice colors on him.

Big, that looks like some kind of king snake. Pretty uncommon. Hope u gave him a pass. That corn snake is a beautiful specimen. My favorite snake.

My brother in Louisiana sent me a video of a water moccasin he killed Saturday under his new boat parked in the yard. Was still squirming but was minus his head. Said the thing hissed at him otherwise he’d never knew it was there. He got lucky.

The first one is an eastern coachwhip. Apparently they are common here in this part of NC but it is the first one I’ve seen.

That corn snake is one of the nicest ones I’ve seen the pics hardly do it justice it was a beaut!

Ah, the elusive coachwhip. Never seen one.

I thought it was a pine snake as well, I showed the pic to the wildlife biologist and he told me what it was. I would have liked to kept that corn snake but he was little feisty so I just moved him out of the road and let him go.

Seen a corn colored almost like him about two years ago. He was in the road and a jay bird was doing the hop and jump around him. It was a cool early spring morning I stop and looked at him and ran the bird off. He was ready to fight all coiled up and twisting watching the bird before I pulled up close enough the bird few off.

This one died via butt end of shotgun during turkey season

Butt?? An' I betcha got snake grease all over yur shotgum....why didn'tcha CHOOT EM???

Turkey gobbling close, turkey rodeo, $$$

I had to go up to my property for a funeral. Friend died 3 weeks after diagnosis with lung and liver cancer. Anyhow, I was bush hogging my property and kicked up a small cottonmouth that I chased to the pond in my tractor. I think I got him with the rotary cutter. Then I went back to cutting and kicked up a field mouse I chased around on my tractor. Where was the 22 when I needed it? No wonder the cottonmouth was hiding in the field. Got tired of frogs and was going after field mice.
Note to self carry 22 with you when cutting fields to shoot the nasties!

I gots to be with Bishop Bullwinkle on this.
