My neighbor and I where in town and I received the below photo from my daughter. Seems my daughter was going to help out her dad by mowing the yard, when she went to retreve the push mower, this guy was "resting" under the deck of the mower. I got the photo on my cell phone and of course went into survival mode, called the wife and asked her "did you kill it?" She replied What the H@#!! and I supposed to do will a M&^*% F(*&^ Copperhead"?...me "Well a house full of guns and enough tools like rakes, hoes and shovels to build a canal come to mind!!!". So they left it alone until it went under the house:confused3:??????? So lucky me with a bad back, got to go home and crawl under the house armed with a big light and a hoe.
Prior to my assault I ask the girls how big it was and they said "4 feet" so I figured it was maybe 2 feet I carefully went into the darkness and was not able to locate said snake, but I'm sure he is right at home in the cool shade. I may try to spray a couple of gallons of ammonia under there, but may just stay on guard. I ate alone last night, I made the mistake of pointing out that most "country a44' woman would have been all over it with a garden hoe to protect the "homestead", that went over pretty poorly, so I may be outside "bunking" with the snake.:ashamed: I suppose all the rain we've had over the last qeek may have drove the snakes from the creek bottom.
