Snakes in my yard and I mean a big one.

Man!! That is a a pretty good sized rattler! Going to make a beautiful pair of boots! That would have been cool to see him hit that squirrel.

I'd take a 5' snake over a 5' spider any day of the week, but having said that, I'd have to take 'em out too because of my dogs.

That is a mighty big rattler!

I am with you Joe. The ones that can seriously injure or kill family, friends, kids or pets are going to die at my house. I like snakes and I leave blacksnakes, kingsnakes, garter snakes, etc. alone. They can do as they please. Cottenmouths, rattlesnakes, and copperheads die.
I agree with the spider thing too. If they are bigger that a silver dollar, they freak me out. I don't even want to think of a 5' spider, but I sure would like to hit one with a 12 gauge, don't forget your goggles! :-D
Ever see 8 legged-freaks? Lol.
