RE: Would you kill a snake?
I go out of my way to stay away from them. I hate them and no I would not kill one cause I would run first and then crap my pants. I HATE SNAKES...a good one is a dead one but I dont stick around for long enough to kill them!

Put it this way: If I'm cruising along in fifth gearin the J.D., with thedeckdown and the Blades of Glory whirring away... And I happen upon an unlucky snake...

I don't usually go out of my way to kill them though. Butthe opportunity to loga "confirmed kill" with the riding tractor doesn't come along everyday.

and I have NEVER seen a snake chase anyone for even a few yards...strike, followed by a lunge in my direction(maybe call it "comming at me")..never more
Have you actually been chased ??

RE: Would you kill a snake?
Last Saturday I was setting up my trail cams and ran into a very large copperhead (needless to say he didn't survive the glock .45 corbons) I hunt in S.E. Oklahoma and snakes are thick.
I normally wouldn't have shot him, but a lady at my work was recently struck several times by one and still has some nerve damage from the bite. The snake was in my way and showed no signs of moving, so I went ahead with it. I don't think they are mean, but they are highly defensive and I had work to do.
Anyways, I am now going to buy snake boots before going back in there. The brush is pretty thick and I was lucky to spot him.

i neverkill snakes i like them .this year i was about to go over a fence while turkey hunting and just about stepped on a copperhead so i crossed a little farther down the way.
just hope all the ones shooting snakes dont do what some cops in a nearby town did.they got a call of a stuck snake in a bird house so to get rid of the snake they took out their pistols and shot at it,well just so happens at a nearby pond a grandfather and young grandson were fishing,yeah you got it the grandson died from a bullet to the head from these idiot cops. snake wasnt worth all that.

Copperheads are a pretty rarely seen and reclusive snake from my experience.

I voted every snake is a dead snake, but by accident.
I love snakes, in a way. Used to be terrified, but now I will pick em up and what not. I only kill poisonous snakes that get too close. Call me a coward, but I'm not going to let a water moccasin cruise on by 2 feet from my leg while frog gigging. Im betting half of you wouldn't either.
Snakes are cool, I like em. Spiders, noooooo way, Id rather wrestle a Lion who hasn't eaten for a week than take on a few spiders. They really creep me out for some reason.
