Personally, I think snakes are cool and used to catch buckets of em on my uncles farm in his old rockpiles.  Most were garter snakes thankfully but my cousin and I occassionally came across some copperheads that ended up in the bucket.  Fortunately, my uncle gave us a crash course on snake IDs and we were lucku enough to not ever get bit.

Pretty much sums you up too my friend...




How about this- take the carberator out of your bathtub, take off your white-ribbed wife-beater, go splash some water on your face and look in the mirror- what do you see under that big ol' mullet? A sportsman? Or an f'tard who likes to kill snakes for no particular reason other than the fact that you're a sissy and a pansy-ass redneck.

Wish it was just a troll, but seriously, too many people have exactly that attitude. I don't doubt that the guy is being serious...

Haven't done much in recent years but used to make belts and neckties out of the skin and cook the meat. They do smell when you skin them. Now mostly leave them alone unless their near the house which in recent years is very seldom. Garters and blacks are harmless and do keep the other pests down. There are still quite a few rattlers in Pa. but only in the more remote areas. With the new regulations they are starting to come back. There fun to hunt but not fun when you aren't expecting them.

Honestly, I've had more fun with this post than I have with any other for ages on this board- guess I've been hangin' out at the Drake for too long now!


Brookie1 (seriously, get a new handle buddy)-

Go kill as many snakes as you care to- hell, kill everything in sight for all I care. You'll get yours in the end, and as far as holding your own, I'll be happy to take you up on that. Really- honest... On a serious note too Brookie- there might be some bad storms coming through PA this evening- be sure to take the wheels off your single-wide so that you don't roll away.

The thing is Ms. Brookie, I'm not- in fact, I'm a fairly nice guy; well-spoken, intelligent, with a fantastic family, strong work ethic, and love of the outdoors.

However, when some idiot talks rather cavalierly about killing animals for no reason at all, other than their own fear and stupidity, well, it rubs me the wrong way, you know what I'm saying? (Use your dictionary on the word "cavalierly" if you must...) Why would you kill an animal because you think they are "nasty" (your words) regardless of the facts? Even more, why in the world would you announce said ignorance?

Now, to be fair, I'm having fun with you, and quite frankly, can only assume that you're either 12 years old, or a ward of the state- regardless, enjoy your wanton killing, and per chance we'll meet on the water someday and see who can really fish. Tight lines, g'day, and cheers mate!

Dan

Here's a fun pic for you Brookie- taken in the Amazon (again, use an Atlas if need be...) To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, "That's not a snake... now, this is a snake!"

Kill a snake ( other than possibley a Rattler ), near the barn, or silo of most farmers, and you may find your pissing into a plastic bag the rest of your life.

There are a number of reasons to kill, ( animals, fish, reptiles, and even humans ). Irrational fear, is NOT one of them.
