That stump tail doesn't lie -- Cottonmouth


Again, rednecks disprove the law of natural selection.

Cottonmouth, and the dude looks like he knows what he is doing. As usuall, the snake fear here is comical. If you know what you are doing, it isn't that difficult to handle snakes. If you are a snake catcher and you get bit, it's generally because you don't care. When catching nonvenomous species, my first priority was always catching the snake - not avoiding getting bit. You grab them by whatever body part you can get ahold of, and they grab you. When you catch venomous snakes, the priority becomes avoiding getting bit. Careful, experienced people don't get bit (usually).

So, catching a venomous snake is one thing, how do you let it go without it turning and killing you.

Cane knife, shovel, baseball bat.

Fling the moc'sin as far as you can into your totally cleared 200' x 200' open pasture. Then pick up your 9' broadsword and approach this totally vicious yet "Why me?" hapless monster with caution and slice/dice this friendly slitherer into 73 pieces that can be quickly gathered and stewed/fried later. Or not.

Not a brother, but lost a good friend to a pigmy rattler.

Definately a Cottonmouth. Had one of those SOBs come after me at a high school golf tourney when I walked to the tee box. Took a driver to it and ended it, but damn it scared the shite out of me. I cant stand those things because of how aggressive they are. That ginger has a bigger pair than I do, thats for sure.
