how many snakes

[dirt road ninja]

Curious to know how many snakes Ya'll encounter this past spring.

I came across 4. 1 was a 3 foot copperhead which I shot. 2 were king snakes and the last is unknown. I saw all of them on afternoon hunts.

The evening I shot the copperhead, I roosted birds not 150 yards and 5 minutes later from where I shot him. The birds appeared to not have been bothered at all by the shot.

Hunting Michigan the only snakes I ever see are Garters and the occasional Hog nose.

I usually dispatch 2 or 3 rattlers a year. This past spring I did not see a one!

Here in NY, I can honestly say I have never seen a snake while hunting.  They don't bother me though, but I don't have to deal with the ones you guys down south do.  Spiders on the other hand, I can't stand those things.

I didn't see any this year.  Last year I saw one black snake and one large garter snake.  They both lived.
It is rare to see a copperhead or rattlesnake in this part of West Virginia.

I did, but not like I had planned. A feral dog was in the area the next morning and I had to wait the birds out. Had 2 jakes and a 2 year old come in @ 945. Back to the truck by 10.

Saw 2. 1 mocassin that got away. And 1 unknown snake that scared the pants off me. It came slithering in right towards the spot I was sitting. It was about 6 feet long, fat, but fortunately had a squirrel or something in its stomach. I jumped up, threw sticks at it and it went down a hole. I moved to a different spot.

I love it when a plan comes together, even if you have to improvise.
