I'm gonna side with Bman here. Dont like snakes. Around the house its rat snakes, but they get my chicken eggs so they gotta go.
in the river bottom its copperheads. lots of copperheads. I put out copperhead traps, big sheet of plywood on the ground. let it set for a week or so then load up the 12gauge and go flip the board over. sometimes get a dozen snakes under one board. I bet I get 30-40 copperheads a year.
