nice driveway

 

bit tough to spot, but when you do, be glad you saw it instead of stepping on it.

 

Nasty little ****ers

 

One reason I'm glad I don't live in the south. Never have to worry about that around here.

 

yeah they are.. ive killed my fair share of em, and they arent one to run either, they'll come after you!

 

I greeted one with a 12 guage

 

You got that right, but if I did accidentally step on a snake, I'd prefer it to be a copperhead instead of a rattlesnake.

 

We got em up here in PA my cousin killed one a few years ago that was huge! Sickle won LOL!!!

 

Copperheads and timber rattlers are known to be around here.

Hmmm... someone has a photo credit?

 

That's another reason I left Missouri. Might as well be backpacking the Ozarks with land mines hidden all around.

The only snakes at my altitude here in the Cascades are a few garters in the summer. Too cold at night for rattlers. Do have a few small dark blue scorpions though under a log occassionally.

 

I remember coming back from a scouting trip in October (Missouri) and one stretch of the highway had 13 copperheads in a half mile stretch. Warming themselves on the pavement at dusk. One place had 3 together and we pulled over with the headlights on them. My dad's friend got out with a shotgun to shoot one and the other two starting towards him!! He shot the 2nd one and raced to the car to avoid the 3rd.

Danged double barrels!

 

My buddy has a ranch here in south texas, maybe an hour out of CC and there a river runnin right through it. Nothin like usin water moccasins for target practice with pistols

 

Yep

 

Car Town?

 

Nick jr?

 

The only good thing about a copperhead is they are not very aggressive unless you **** them off. I've stepped on a few when I was younger. Never had one strike at me until you poke them with a stick a few times. Now cotton mouths, water moccasins as we call them, are just evil bastards. Those things will charge you for no reason.

 

Ok yeah I was thinking about Cotton mouth in my previous post. Doing taxes and my brain is fried lol

 

Holy crap that's a lot of vacuum.







Dumbarse

 

I hate those damm things. Gotta be one of the most aggressive snakes ever. I've had a couple drop out of trees in the boat while fishing. You make a life decision at that moment. Abandon ship or go into battle. Both decisions suck. Lol
