Instead of going around and killing threatened snake species, why dont you just eliminate their habitat near you house. Mow any long grass, and remove any junk piles. Snakes are not "out to get you" as many people think, they only strike when they feel threatened. Through proper management of you property it is possible to live in saftey with the snakes. Contact your state Department of Natural Resources or equivalent agency for more advice.
So I was standing there in my chicken coop this morning, in my cowboy boots and underwear and out of no where a rattlesnake grabs my boot and starts bitin my ass, I grab the nearest thing, a rediculously huge sign and whack the snake. That's it. Now, if the same thing happened to you that quick, are you saying you'd just stand there and let a rattlesnake nail you?
