Unsure but the looks of that head would have made me very nervous.

On google it looks a lot like a Texas Water Snake. You by a creek or pond by chance since the pic looks like that critter is on mud.

Yep - on a big tank.
I was out scouting a duck hunting location.
This bad boy scared me because I had the bird dog along and his is not snake broken yet.

Disagree. It's a diamond back water snake, as previously mentioned. Not poisonous, but mean as hell.

Would have been a dead snake either way....


Funny thing about getting older:
Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to
see through people's BS gets much better.
