As much as I hated to...I killed 2 black snakes this past week in Braxton county. They were the black rat type...not the racer kind. Dang near 6 feet.

Snakes don' t bug me a bit...but these were heading toward the cabin...and that spells their end. The shovel does a hell of a job. I actually caught both that I killed...but they insisted on heading under the cabin.

My wife doesn' t share my fondness for the serpents.


Are there a lot of snakes this year, or is it just me?
