Nothing like feeling proud of yourself first thing in the morning to start the day off right.
Don't flecth arrows when you should be sleeping.
I live in South GA near Savannah, but several miles from the city. When it is lawn mowing season, I usually see some snakes every year in the yard near and in the woods behind our house,
A couple years ago, while I was mowing along the border between the yard and the woods and saw some movement,. Stopped the mower and saw this guy. I went inside to grab a shotgun. When I came back, I slowly approached where the mower was. He was still there and curled up looking at me. I blasted him.
This is the remaining part. this is about 1/3 of his total length. The scale of the pics is a little deceiving because that is a pretty big knife I stuck there just for the pic. This was the first

This was the first Cottonmouth I've seen in the yard. Usually I see black snakes, green snake and a couple Rattlers. I leave them alone except the poisonous ones. They gotta go.
I leave them all alone but the ones that will kill me or send me to the hospital. They keep down on other pests. Nature is a balance, screw with one thing and something else will go out of wack.
Just watched something last night. The commies in China figured out the sparrow was eating their grain, you can't have this, so a nation wide campaign to kill all the sparrows was launched, They killed an estimated 81million sparrows. Now the bugs are destroying the crops at a rate that was thought to be impossible. Simple fix, more chemicals, now the water including ground water is unfit to drink, and the amount of work to make it drinkable is very expensive.
If I see a snake I will figure out what he is, most of the time they will live. Other people around me, City people are killing everything left and right, ask about mice issues, no not really the odd one here and there. They are over run. Well duh you brag about killing all the snakes, they eat the mice you idiot.....just chem them like the commies, you will be just fine.
When I see copperheads when I am cutting the grass I run them over. Fuck copperheads.I live in South GA near Savannah, but several miles from the city. When it is lawn mowing season, I usually see some snakes every year in the yard near and in the woods behind our house,

Copperhead?

I totally agree with her, Everyone wants to be a famous person these days.
It sounds and looks more like a copperhead than a cottonmouth. Cottonmouths are more aggressive and would move away or at you. Copperheads just sit there all curled up until you step on those fuckers and they bite you.
His balls are gonna hurt in a few minutes.
Definitely a Copperhead, not a Cottonmouth. Nice Busse!I live in South GA near Savannah, but several miles from the city. When it is lawn mowing season, I usually see some snakes every year in the yard near and in the woods behind our house,

Applied honey liberally? I never had luck with picardin or lemongrass. DEET is toxic has anything. I have witnessed enough kit melt with application of it (be vehicle or actual DEET) to not want to get that on my skin.
Try taking B1 vitamins.
ahh you know the common cotton copper water rattle viper cobra, man everyone knows that. If it ain't got legs it needs to die.
Not true. Black snakes, bull snakes and king snakes are good. They all eat other snakes. However, I wouldn't fuck with them.
Baby cotton mouths look a lot like copperheads and have a yellow tip on their tail. They are close enough related that they can, and have interbred.
This is the one that bit my dog a few years ago
He was fine after a couple of days and some Benadryl

Poor puppy! That's my worst fear. I got home one day last week, parked the truck, and went to get the dogs. In that couple of minutes, a copperhead came out, and was underneath the truck by one of the back tires. Both my dogs went within a foot of it, and never saw it.
I was right behind them, with my dedicated snake gun in hand. It holds 9 CCI shot shells.

Hey psst... You know that duct tape fletching works VERY well for emergencies, right?
All of the stuff I use for practice are made from shafts that would have been on their way to the trash but given away just in time, straightened up with a utility knife, fletched with duct tape and sporting whittled and fire hardened tips. They are meant to be beaten up and discarded when they are.
Next to my grandson, this is my next favorite person in the world. My dad. Him, me and my two younger brothers in about 74ish.
Another only a year or two later. Sunday fishing trip. Every sunday in the summertime was a family drive in the mountains. Fishing, picking huckleberries, just driving around the woods.
Some of my dad’s family when he was growing up in the mid 50s. He is 2nd from the right.
The guy on the right is his older half brother who is the definition of growing up poor and tough. I only knew him when he was older, well into his 70s he would cut 50+ cord of firewood a year. When he was 72 he rode into town to wallmart with my aunt, he waited out in the car while she went in. A few cars down the row from him some guy started beating on his women, he went down and pulled him out of his car and beat the shit out of him. The guy still couldn’t stand very well when the cops got there. At 72!
Here is my dad on his 80th birthday with the picture collage I had printed with pictures from throughout his life. There was some dust or pollen or something in the air that day.
during the fire Mama dog brought her babies to the fire truck
