Im pretty anal when it comes to snakes,,doubt anyone in the world is more afraid of em than i am, I was gettin the mower out of the shed when i seen sumpin move out of the corner of my eye & to my dismay it was a black snake laying on the outside wall cross member (metal shed) so i ran to the house & grabbed the 20 gauge ran back to the shed & put 3 holes in the side of it where i thought it was layin,,,WELL!! in my haste i forgot to pull the tractor out!!!!!! summing this story up quickly, i have a damaged tractor(holes all through the hood) sheds history,,,& the wife now thinks im loosing my mind. whats more the snake was gone before the 1st shot rang out!!!!!!!!!!! But in hunting season i try not to think about snakes,,,i tell myself that their gone by the end of august
