re: Another Snake ID

I caught a racer this year during turkey season. Chased them for miles as a kid with no success. Sat down and saw him under a bush 3 ft away. He was about to shed, and his eyes were totaly glazed over, couldn't see. I eased over and grabbed him, put him in my pocket, and yelped softly 2x and scratched the ground at a gobbler that was right down below me in a bottom. Heard him strutting as he came up the hill. When I shot the turkey, the snake bolted out of my pocket and didn't stop for at least 50 ft. I didn't try to catch him again, figured I scared him enough. First one I've ever caught, and didn't even get a picture.
