I was clearing some brush with my CTL last Saturday and uncovered this fellow. He was not happy. ~60" Black snake.

Stacy, what kind of range do you get with that saw and what have you killed with it?
Glad you are OK seriously. In NC as well and since we have had warm weather I've been looking for Mr. No shoulders as well. Course, we are gonna get some snow Sunday.

Rebel, I was going to going top ask the same thing!! But, I know for certain that I have probably said something along those lines. That is a stout Copperhead. Glad nothing more happened.

I'd move the heck out of there! I'm in Montana had 8" of fresh snow yesterday we call it fire retardant and it keeps the snakes away

In my area, copperheads out-number earthworms.

I hate copper heads worse than rattle snakes, kill'em all!

step brother works at a hospital in the pharmacy. A guy got bit by a copper head. When all was said and done, $25,000 was the cost, plus loss of flesh. Copper head bites are really horrible.

Hope you let the Black snake go, I have little mercy on poisonous snakes.

During my junior and high school days, we enjoyed many, many hours of fun diving from the rocks and cliffs at the Sinks and Y. Both areas were loaded with Copperheads

 

[snert]

it is 16 degrees and we expect 5-13 inches of snow Tuesday. Winds to 81 MPH 100 miles north of here, 50 MPH gusts here. If I found a copper head now I would hope he was straight. I would drive him into the ground like a tent peg. If he were curled up, we could use him as a trailer wheel.

You guys crack me up lol. I found my first diamond back rattler of the season today in Az. He was sunning himself on my porch haha. Im one of the few who really likes snakes. I left him there for awhile and then moved him out towards a wash. If I had any near by nieghbors or kids around I would of killed it however.
