I think we all said it was a copperhead; do you disagree?

My dad and I were taught to hunt by my uncle who was a forester. He shot every poisonous snake he came across because he had to work with them in the woods. One day he shot a rattler in front of a federal forester while cruising timber on Kisatchie. The Fed told him it was illegal. He said he shoots every poisonous snake he sees and would not work on Kisatchie if he couldn't. He got he contract, and several other afterward.

Hatred for snakes is Biblical; especially poisonous snakes.
