this is the ever common bad snake it is quite easy to fix the problem though, shovel or bullet to the head and it will be the much friendlier good snake.

There's no way in hell I would've even been that close to take that pic. A soon as I saw it I would have changed directions.............

I know most will disagree but I gave him a pass. He was almost a 1/2 mile from my house and would have to cross a creek and come across a 4 acre pond to get to the house. This was the most docile moccasin I've have encountered. He did get in his defensive mode with mouth open but never became aggressive at all. I picked him up with a large and long stick and he never made any kind of offensive move. I do not handle venomous snakes with my hands. No thanks, for me that's pushing luck. Had he been closer to home, or aggressive like most are, I would have quickly dispatched him. Now watch, in a couple of weeks he'll probably bite my on the arse.
