I share my lawn with blue racers, and garter snakes, some black rat snakes in the trees along the woodline, unidentified small bronze colored on my front porch as I stepped out the door coiled up towards me in a strike position that one didn't make it to the next minute. usally i let them live and scoot them away but if they get aggressive for no reason its over.

Just be careful cos snakes heads seems to be alive even after being decapitated. It can still bite.!
I'm a Gramp who is not computer savvy, give me a slab and the rock ages tablet..I will do fine!
You are never careful enough. I have Knife Hunt Snakes for about 30 years. (And other reptiles) I taught swamp survival training, which involved Cottonmouths being an easy meal. I am very aware of our South Mississippi poisonous snakes.
I have caught & milked Many snakes to be used for anti venom, so regardless of my pics, I am very careful & aware of there and have spent many years hunting, catching, and handling them.

I spent two years in and around Yuma, AZ with a lot of time in the desert and mountains. It was a snake hunt alright; they hunted me!!!!

Yeah, here in Mississippi there are plentiful snakes. I spent a lot on my teen years clearing duck blinds on Cotten Mouths and Copperheads. We have one guy with a ten foot stick lift logs and one guy with the 12ga. Lots on fun but now I wish I'd learned how to handle them and milk the venom.
you are the rock mannnnnn.....
Naw, just Carney!

I generally give all snakes the option to retreat but about a year ago a friend of mine with a "for hire" campground asked me to help him clean up under a large rock that young kids frequented. Said he was pretty sure there were a couple Copperheads under it. Turned out there were seven there.

Nice pic neondog. Love Copperheads
And as a reminder, I rarely kill snakes, except for Wilderness Training, & I do kill venomous snakes on property to close to House. My little ones know how to identify & stay SHY of them. I began Knife Hunting Snakes when I was probably 14

I killed a pretty good sized snake with my lawnmower once (unintentional) and decided to cook and eat it, something I've never done before. I didn't skin it or anything first, maybe that was the first mistake. I just threw it straight onto hot coals and I think I cooked it for too long. I could hardly find any good meat on it after de-gutting it. Oh well, I made a funny video about it at least (I recorded the whole process with some funny monologue).
You cooked the snake without cleaning it?
(Ex. Gutting, removal of stomach, sex organs, skin)

There are many ways of learning.....from the "What is the best toothpick"....to "Holy crap, I ain't never doing that...again"....Like throwing a can of cherries in to the fire.......
Seems to be there needs to be a balance......and a goal of success, not a video with a lot of hits......LOl...of course if I would have had liked to have had one of the cherries....LOL
