Killing one copperhead out in the woods is like killing a mosquito. Sure, they have the potential to hurt you but would rather be left alone. I always let em alone unless around the house.
kill it...leave it...whatever...my question is how in the world are you not down now with 10 cases of west nile??? that looked VERY skeeto heavy!! My backyard is dry and I can't walk out there without getting bitten these days...wow!
My "wonderful" full hip replacement would not have even provided me the opportunity to be there. Yeah, sarcastic as not the best outcome...but it would have been a battle, for me anyway.
I probably wouldn't have killed him. If he was that close to me I would have just screamed like a girl and ran mindlessly through the woods until I collapsed....
Just read another thread about a guy and his son. Son opened gate and there was a rattler right by him. He didn't get bit either but dad took care of business. I don't see why so many people like snakes or are willing to give them a pass. Serious injury or death seem like good reason to dispatch all venomous snakes. Why take a chance ?
