Good article. We have come across these critters (usually in pairs) and have always relocated them, after our initial start has subsided. Not a fan of indiscriminate killing.

Walking around blatantly not paying attention is about as stupid as me getting bit trying to pick a venomous snake up. That doesn't even make sense. Do people not have survival instincts at all?
If you can literally look and see 69 snakes in a row. Just "oh there a snake".....why would you even get close to getting bit? I'm being for real I honestly don't see how that happens. I've never been somewhere and thought "oh I'm in nature where stuff can kill me dead I should probably just look up in the trees and stuff."Last edited by okrattler; 07-13-2022, 06:23 PM.

I have a feeling if the study fulfilled all the parameters mentioned in this thread and had the same results it would still be considered flawed
If one is close to my house my wife and daughter will make me kill it. My son and I will probably lie and say we killed it. If it’s in the woods I let them go. That said I doubt there is a shortage of venomous snakes so I don’t care that most folks kill them.
