Been in the woods a bit and even around the house, I've only seen two poisonous snakes in 12 years...a Coral Snake and a Pigmy Rattler...both met with an untimely retirement.
I'm always armed...I fear no animal or any man...except for my wife!
just copper bellies and the tipi-cal gardener
but when I was young I remember out side of Chasell Michigan the sturgeon river wild live refuge out slither a snake about 3 too 4 feet long and my dad stop-en the car to catch I was real young then...
