Dang, I'm not any kind of snake hater... but I did see 7 copper heads at our lease between Saturday and Sunday. I don't mind bullsnakes, rat snakes, black snakes, garder snakes, ribbon snakes, diamond back water snakes, racers, hog-nosed snakes, long-nosed snakes, prairie king snakes, or any of the others of the multitude of non-venemous snakes in Oklahoma. For that matter, I don't mind the rattle snakes because they alert you before it's game time.
But at the same time, Copperheads and Cottonmouth's are a different story... I don't go looking to get rid of them, but when you see 7 in two days, it makes you think a little bit harder about that walk to the stand in the dark when it's still 90 degrees outside... just sayin.
*Edit*
Preacher, didn't Satan come in the form of a snake (serpent) to tempt Eve? So if you look at it like that, then Snakes are the root of all evil!!!!
