My grandfather grabbed any snake By the tail and then snapped them like a bullwhip. Copperhead. Rattler. No more head.

Farmers don't mess around.

Story time..... In basic training down at Fort Benning Georgia we were taking a rest in the woods during the hottest part of the day in July and somebody sees something moving in the bush some guy had rested against. So naturally an entire squad of guys walk over to investigate, and sure enough there was a big ass copperhead right in the middle of the bush.. So, one guy grabs a stick and holds its head down, I reach in with my hand to grab it but the stick breaks. After giving stick guy a dirty look he finds a better stick and does it again, I reach in again and grab the lil bastard. Now we have it and as a 19 year old "man" the natural next step was to get a knife from our drill, cut its head off, skin it, try to use an MRE heater to "cook" it and shame the entire platoon into eating at least a tiny piece of the copperhead we killed.

I'm a man. Not much of one, but a man.

I'm pretty confident that my first thought upon seeing a 100 lb snake in my house wouldn't be "don't worry, this little bitch only has one point of attack."

Right?

My first thoughts would be more along the lines of "How many points of egress does this room have?"

:slappy::slappy: I'm on a conference call in tears reading the thread about the snakes.

My mom grew up county, she always preferred to behead them with a garden hoe. I had an uncle who would drive around with a bag & stick in the back of his truck so if can across one he could get it stuffed. It happened, driving through the woods saw about a 4ft rattler, got out poked it in the head, tossed it in the bag and had it stuffed.

you wimps.. its a snake.. it has ONE point of attack.. and that is being used on your dog.. the damn thing would be pretty much defenseless, just cut its head off.
(Have I mentioned I LOVE my dogs?)

Exactly, fuck with my kids, wife or dog... it’s on. I’ve gone to the hospital for putting myself between my dog and one who tried to attack him... and he’s 130lb Mastiff.
