I was trimming a cedar up this year that sits near my yard.. its one that has always been in the open and grown full like a Christmas tree with limbs coming off of it all the way from the ground up...got about eye level and right before I went to cut one of the last branches it lunged at me
chainsaw hit the ground and I bet every neighbor I had herd me scream like a girl trying to get out of the way... snake thought it was funny... was a a rat snake just like that thank goodness not a Timber
he just moved up a few branches and wrapped back up around the trunk
