And we found this little fellow while walking this morning...
While wife and I walking Buster this morning along the woods edge near the road. Wasn't moving and we left it alone. Can't discharge my pistol in the city. Now had it been on my trails down at my range....he'd be done! Copperhead.

Re: And we found this little fellow while walking this morning...
I've lived in "snake country", meaning venomous snakes country most of my life. Just been a matter of awareness and following a few simple rules.
Right now, though, no venomous snakes where we live. Wisconsin has two rattlesnake species in far SW corner of the state in the Mississippi bluff country. One of them, the Eastern Massasauga, is so rare as to be listed as endangered. No venomous snakes in the rest of the state.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Been snake bitten once. Never again! I see it, it dies if I have to use a stick.

Re: And we found this little fellow while walking this morning...
Hope I don't see another one! When down at the range walking along the trails I'm always looking around where I'm walking and never pick up any debris before moving it with a long stick. In the winter and early Spring I walk along the trails in that woods here at home along the street but keep my eyes open. I don't go thru there in the Summer or Fall though.

Copperhead bit tina in the bottom of her foot four times. She was working barefoot in her flowerbed in the spring, weeding, and stepped on a juvenile.
Stomped it into copperhead paste.
Foot, ankle, lower leg ballooned up, turned colors, pretty painful. Many drugs given. Two days in the hospital. I had me a t-shirt made:
My wife is meaner than a snake..
She was bitten by a copperhead.
It died.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

“Can't discharge my pistol in the city.” That’s why God made rocks.

I've seen few of those buggers in my area of VA. My wife panics when she sees one and I just let them go there way. Most are just passing thru and are no problem. But a few years ago we had one take up residence under our front deck. He went to the happy hunting ground.
