    Killed my first snake of the season

    I guess it's due to the unusually warm weather this year. I was out working on the chicken coop and he was curled up under some lumber I was moving. Copperhead, about 2 1/2 feet long. Wow. It's a little early for snakes, or so I thought.
    ANyway, the kids were around, so I utilized my favorite pest control tool........my Kimber. 1 .45 Corbon sent him to snake heaven. Had it been a black snake or corn snake, I would have relocated him, but with 2 little ones running around, I think I made the right call.

    ANyone else seen any slithering reptiles out this season yet?

    I dont know. Never thought about it. They would probably be okay, but if I told my wife we were going to eat it, she would probably divorce me.

    I haven't seen any yet around here. But we don't usually see too many around here. Izzy I'm betting you will see more. I know that area is fairly well known for copperheads.

    Copperhead, and his cousin the water moccasin aren't very good eating. Rattlesnake is much better vittles.
