OT:Snakes-Why'd it have to be snakes
Well one anyway. Went for a walk today to check out my stands for Saturday. As I was walking down the leaf covered abandoned two track toward my one stand I felt something hit the side of my boot! I looked down and back and saw a 14"-16" copperhead with the front portion of his body in an "S" shape waiting to strike again. Unfortunately for him though he was no match for my 1911 .22LR as I drew a bead on his noggin and let the hollow point do its job. I grabbed a stick and tossed him off the road into the woods.
I took my boot and sock of to check if he went through but I guess he didn't have the strength to puncture the thick leather upper. He just left 2 little marks just above the ankle. I'm sure glad I didn't have my sneakers on today. I think I would have been a hurtin puppy by now.
