HOW IS UR SNAKE POPULATION?
 

Tonight I was walkin my dogs and when i went to put them back in the pen i noticed they were looking in the corner kinda odd.So I went to take a look and sure enough there was a 3 foot copperhead there.I got the dogs out of the pen and went inside to grab a pistol when i came back out it had moved to the outside of the cage so i took the pistol loaded with shot shells and shot it.This is the second 3 foot copperhead that i have shot in 2 days i was just wondering how the snakes are by u guys?

My 4 yo son and I were at my lease Thursday filling my feeder, and we walked right up on a small 18" copperhead. First snake I've seen there in a while but my son thought it was the coolest thing, since he had never seen one.

we don't have much problem with snakes ; the skitters and Gators eat them all.[:o][&:];):D

We don't have any poisonous snakes in this part of Nebraska, but we do have some black snakes and such. We just began raising Guinea hens this summer, so I'm sure they'll care of a few snakes as well.

Not many poisonous snakes in my area. Once in a while we might see a copperhead but that's very rare. We have mostly garter and black snakes.

We don't have many ,
mostly non-poisonous like garter snakes and racers . Cottonmouth , copperhead , and rattlers are not that common .

I havent seen too many round here in awhile. Me and my one buddy go snake hunting and we went yesterday and saw nothing. The year before last we killed like 10 or 12 copperheads and like 5 rattlers. This summer he has only got 3 copperheads. From what he says he hasnt been seeing very many at all.

Here in southeast texas ,if you go a hundrded yards in the woods that are even remotely wet and look hard enough,you could easily see a couple cottonmouths.

Well fellas I understand your fear of snakes but I am not a fan of killing them. They serve a pupose in the eco system. I am not a tree hugger by any stretch of the imagination but killing just to kill is a bad idea. I like any animal that kills rats and mice so I would suggest keeping the snakes around.

RE: HOW IS UR SNAKE POPULATION?
 

Here in Texas we have all your basic poisonous snakes Cottonmouths, Copperheads, Rattle Snakes, and Coral Snakes. The good news is that we have lots of feral hogs on the place and they usually keep the snake population low so we try not to kill to many hogs. Hogs are the lesser of 2 evils and provide year round hunting oppurtunity.

well i dont just kill the snakes to kill them .i kill them only if they are by the dog pen or if im walking down a trail and there is one in front of me ready to strike but if i see one that isnt any threat to me or my animals i leave it alone.

we have alot of cottonmouths here to i see one almost every time i go out fishing.Just about everyday for a month or 2 when i would push the boat off the shore there would be at least 2 or 3 little cottonmouths under the boat and sometimes a copperhead or 2.

This year is the worst for us I havent seen many in a long time then this year I have shot 2 water moccosins(big ones too), and ive seen 2 water snakes and a black racer and we killed a coral snake in the yard last week which was really neat Ive NEVER seen one in person and this one was huge they only grow to maby 1' and this one was every bit of 1' and he was just headed off across the yard I love snakes and really hate to kill them but with kids and dogs around here its just to much of a hazzard to let them be so ive had to kill the 3 poisinous snakes ive seen, and ive seen alot of dead oak snakes, black racers and rattlers in the road latley too
