Looks like you're going to start walking around with a shotgun I just don't like snakes. Get you some turkeys or a Guinea. They'll take care of that problem. God bless stay safe
I'm camping out because of my situation. Next to a pasture. My dog has gone up on 4 snakes. 2 rattlers. I know how you feel. One was in striking position.
Timber rattlers we're recently replenished here in SW Missouri and for some stupid reason they're protected here. I can't stand them since my wife came within inches of biting her of course I had a nice talk with it and it agreed not to bite anyone
