I killed another Copperhead (an adult) just 20 mins ago....Dee & I were cleaning up limbs & debris from various trimming jobs, fallen trees, etc and I turned over part of a Hickory tree trunk and there it was coiled & very still. I stomped its head...then it was dead
I only kill the poisonous snakes because of our 4 legged kids, predominantly.....I suppose for us too...considering my recent record
The non-poisonous snakes are good for us and our environment and really won't hurt much if they happen to bite you....in defense of itself....but most won't bite unless one is attacking it...hurting it.........dogs & cats ....even gophers & lizards will do that.....even humans will do that...now that I think about it
