We were swimming with about 15-20 others at the lake last summer and had killed two other Water Moccasin as we were about that day. Around 2:30 one swam by not 18"' from my 6 y.o. on a raft. He was about 8' from me and the WM was well passed before I could get to him, but needless to say, afte...

We are in a "humid sub-tropical climate zone", so we are "blessed" with long growing season and generally mild winters, which leads to a plethora of snakes, gators, and a climate generally suitable for all types of wildlife to flourish. So in addition to reptiles and alligator sn...

Had a field mouse in his stomach when I cut him open.

...got this guy today. We went back to clean out a shoothouse for deer season (in the same patch where I killed the one last weekend) and put down new carpet where buzzards had made a mess. Well he saw me about the time I saw him and went into a nest in a hole under the shoothouse (which sits about ...

they have no backup,try gigging at night and running from them.

...I would say carry a .410 pistol, but then all the frogs would leave the area as well.

I may buy a Taurus Judge as a new snake gun....

I like a serrated blade for stuff like this and prefer the size of the Military model...I need to get my older 440C serrated Military back from Spyderco warranty and repair ASAP, where I sent it a couple of weeks ago to be sharpened and to have the lock repaired (locking up late)...its not much larg...

I've had quite a few run-ins with Moccasins over the years - most of them while canoeing or fishing. These snakes are very territorial and will attack animals many time their size. I had one drop off of a low-hanging branch into our canoe one time - ambush attack style. Fortunately, canoe paddles a...

**** man that is crazy! I would not want to get that close to a cottonmouth to be able to use an endura! Did you use something else to hold the head, or did you just run up and slash it?! I usually run them down then stomp on their head with my boot, pin them down, then cut off their heads with wha...

Ah thanks for the head up. Fortunately venomous snakes are very rare where I am. Where are you located? ETA: look at the head on the black snake killed by sharpguitarist and you will see the difference between it and the moccasin's head shape and you will see the difference between poisonous and no...

I would have done the same to any snake in the house (poison or non-poisonous) as they would come back in even if taken outside Don...no worry about a hi-jack. :)

Was he venomous? Edited: Googled it and I see that they are venomous. Good work! ...and very aggressive. Just an FYI (I know you Googled it but may not know this) - When dealing with North American snakes, look at the head and if it is triangular (diamond shaped) as in the picture above, and in Nor...

Neither. His head is in one bottle and the body in another, and both are filled with rubbing alcohol for my 6th grader to take to science class Monday for the kids to see and be able to recognize before deer season gets here and they hit the woods.

I had a discussion with "Jake the Snake" (a moccasin) while clearing deer patches and he lost. Here he is laying on my bushhog for a photo-op after I pinned him down in the grass with my boot and cut off his head with my serrated Endura. http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h345/OBJViking/S...

The Military is my favorite Spyderco, and I regularly carry one in my EDC rotation, in fact, I have carried one for the past week, except when working outside and I then carried a serrated Endura. I didn't even know about this model a year or so ago, and now have 6 Military models: (1) An LE run wit...
