Find the Copperhead

[bullet]

After watching my younger brother get bit by a copper head he picked up (3' of copper head a big one indeed) that slipped out of his grip and in 30 minutes his whole left arm was black and the doctor said in another 30 minutes if we had not gotten him there, they would have a tough time saving his hand and maybe his life. All that said, I don't pick them up if they are poisonous, just that simple, don't need that in my life to prove anything. More power to those who do but not me.

find the copperhead, I found it pretty fast but since my see my brother and that copper head I kind of have a way of seeing them now.

I thought you wanted to come and hunt with me down here FOTIS????? Get you a whitetail, Russian boar and any of the poisonous sakes in America are right here for your experience, rattlesnakes, copperheads, cotton mouth and coral.

Look, I am not wanting to pull you out of the water or quicksand to save you from drowning because you have steel waders. I know you live out west and it is dry but FOTIS you know steel does not float. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Grew up with them in SE KS. They would crawl under the winnows and get baled in the hay. Few things are more disconcerting for a teenage boy than to lift a bale and fine an angry copperhead trying to wriggle out of the tightly pack hay. I've put up a fair number of those critters in the hay.

I found it, but it took me long enough to do so that in real life I'm guessing I would have been in big trouble.

Those darn snakes give me the heeby jeebies! Any snakes.

We had a couple rattlesnake bites in Olathe KS this past summer ( about 35 miles south of our house).

My 120 pound male german shephard was bitten in the neck by a Water Mocassin when we lived in Georgia. It happened right in the back yard in a lttle permanent stream that we had coming out of the woods through the corner of our yard. We rushed the dog to the vet immediately for an anti-venom shot and fortunately he was bitten in the fat on the underside of his neck and was not serverly ill from it. The fast treatment with anti-venom and an antibiotic helped but he had a grapefruit sized swelling in his neck for a month and was a sick puppy!

I am not a snake lover either. I am somewhat hearing impaired so that I cannot hear a rattlesnake rattle. I have been in several of the eastern states and Texas where big snakes grow, but so far have never encountered one. Keep in mind however that bees kill far more people annually than do snakes.

Yeah, but I imagine that more people kill themselves trying to get away from snakes. :shock:

 

[C.Smith]

Yikes. I had a hard time finding that. Scary.

That took I minute to find and how about no more snake pictures at least I'm not as scared of them as my wife is :mrgreen:

 

[ajvigs]

Nothing will make this Marine run faster then a snake. IDC how big or small it is, I hate them and will get away from them as fast as possible.

 

[Mortis]

Heck gents..... all that is...is a late afternoon snack once cleaned and cooked...

Or if ya like your meat rare.... snake tartar.....

Never much cared for copperhead. Never been bitten by one, though I did kill one by stepping on it with my bare feet when I was a boy. Running down a path, the snake got in the way. I actually didn't see it, but another kid saw it and yelled. On the other hand, I didn't much feel like stopping at that moment.
