We have those here and a few rattlesnakes.
I don't mind snakes if I see them far enough away, I just bypass them.
If I end up too close before I see them, bang...
- I carry my 9mm pistol when I go morel hunting.
- It's in the pickup when I go fishing...
Oh wow. Just thought of... Do you have those blue racers? I hate those things. They raise their head up about a foot and chase you! haha Little boogers!!!
