i have to with a snake hit a dog lost afew that way they don,t bother me but that was a big snake i know they have there place but i just hate to hear someone getting hit when you could have took it out
Poisonous snake comes in to my yard or my camp (or boat in case of moccasins!), he's probably good as dead. But if I run into one in HIS backyard, unless he poses immediate danger to me or a loved one, I leave them alone. When I go into the woods, I figure I'm on their turf, and should respect that they have a right to live and a place in God's plan.
You did right by that snake, reel_spoiled! Did you take any of those grapes home?
At home or my shooting house, feeder, cams and such a poisonous snake is a dead snake. Randomly found where I usually don't go, depends on how I feel at the time...I never kill non poisonous snakes.
First pic, somebody was harvesting the pine sap.
Second pic, fox grapes or 'possum grapes or a variety of scuppernongs. Sweet little grapes, very juicy, and make awesome jelly, grape juice, or hommade wine. My lil brother and I done picked about a five gallon bucket full. See the recipe tread on this forun; I just posted about it yesterday.
Third pic, you did good to let him go. The forests and field lose a little something without that sudden buzzing that get's your heart beating in your throat faster than your first look at boobies! Me and Mr No Shoulders never been friends, but I know I'll miss him when he's gone.
I'd kill this one!!!
