    Lots of laughs - got to have something to keep the shelter mice in check... you are more likely to get bit from Ticks, Mosquitoes, & Fleas.
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    "If they get this big" is the subject of your thread but it should be "Another idiot kills a snake".

    I heard that most ring tones attract them.
    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
    You never know which one is talking.

    That's going to feed his family for a week, provide him with a belt, and give his kids some rattles to play with.

    It doesn't look dead to me, especially near the head ... and if it is dead, why is he holding it with a pole? Just askin'.

    Looks a lot flatter there than I expect the AT to be...
    I'm afraid with the houses in the background I will not criticise the demise of the snake, although magnificent specimen that it is may have found a home with a zoo or similar.
    When hiking I photograph snakes, walk around them, admire them etc. I am very much looking forward to seeing "rattlers".
    But in my last house I killed an average of one tiger snake every year.
    I will not have poisonous snakes sharing the yard with children.
    I was raising three children and tiger snakes were often coming in from a nearby swamp.

    Thanks WOO, I blame a lot of it on being left handed.

    Couple of Quick Questions ATmilkman
    1) Do you float?
    2) Are you lighter than a duck?
