“Mean as a snake.” Well, Wendy’s a lefty journo.
Professional courtesy to a fellow serpent?

I killed a couple dozen on a nature trail one afternoon with a long-handle shovel.
They were sunning on the path, they were everywhere. It was a dammed nightmare.

 photo DSC00990copy.jpgWe have armadillos too. If I would stand perfectly still this one would sometimes get within a foot of my feet.

A friend’s neighbor had a golden retriever. It lived up to her name and grabbed a deer stomach a hunter gutted and brought it back. We all got out of there before she licked us to death.

I think the scariest thing I have ever seen was a foot long centipede in my campsite near Oolagah, Oklahoma. Each segment was the size of a quarter.

Fine. Don’t kill them. Dump the darn things in congress.

You can’t. The snakes already there take up all the room.

sometimes you can get Texans to swap their armadillo chili for some southern fried Florida gator tail.

I believe Smokey had a little bull dog in him. Most dogs kill snakes by grabbing them in the middle and immediately shaking them to pieces.

Smokey would jump in and out and when he got his chance he would clamp down right behind the snake’s head. He would grip them until they were dead.

Killed my first rattler of the year last week. At twilight and I damn near stepped on it.

I beat it to death with a hoe. If Wendy had been available I could have beat it death with a ho.

I took the grandkids there last year. My grandson was going to skin a rattler but the waiting line was just too long. The whole place was packed including the gun show next door.
