my old man called me up, a snake on mom’s back porch while she was trying to plant flowers or some shit… so i head over there, and see this long ass black snake (3.8 ft w/o head ) anyway… see this snake, so i chase it around like a little girl (don’t like snakes) and it won’t get off the porch, so i take the shovel route, chop a good line into his neck… so he’s bleeding and pissed. I continued to try to ‘shovel’ him off the porch as well as chopping at him again…
he got another wound and started flopping around… and eventually threw up 2 mice (nice site)… so i was sick of fucking around and just put the shovel on his neck and grabbed the tail and threw him about 15 yards into my parents backyard… he was alive and nasty, that fucker tried to bite me at least 10 times…
… case and point, i proceded to get the .45 outta the vw and unloaded 4 rounds into Mr. Black snake.
this was just last weekend, so i guess they are coming out of the woodwork with this nicer weather.
copperheads almost always have a diamond shape on their head and smell like cucumbers when ready to stike i’ve been killing and dealing with them since the early 80’s they can be very fast and they most definnetly deadly
