Copper heads

[53convert]

This is from last night.
Doubled the kill tonight
Using a small 22 pistol, flash light and just being careful.
These are all taken within 50 feet of my back door
Haven't figured out what's bringing them in.

Just thought I would share a creepy pic with you



night two

Those would make great limb backings for a self bow. Didn't realize MWC was a copperhead hangout!

Glad you killed them, I would like to have a couple of them hides if they were not ruin.

I killed one in Norman about 10 days ago. Cleaning out the back-yard and found the guy.
Scared the heck out of me. It had a triangular head and had diagonal lines just like the picture above.

Holy crap! you must have a den.
We have killed 8 in 25 years of living here.

the other night I was in my backyard on the phone sitting in my yard chair and i was wearing flip flops and something keep touch my heal I thought it was my aunts cat because he has been known to do that nope it was stupid copperhead. I just slowing got up and walked away to get my shotgun because my wife said I couldnt pickup anymore venomous snakes after the cottonmouth debacle 6 weeks ago.

WOW!!! Fangs x 30 total??....I've never seen that together before outside a house. Do you have a lot of brushy areas, wood piles and mulchy areas around your house? Getting rid of them can be a literal "pain" but if you really want them out and easily, there's a product called "The Sentinel Electronic Snake Repeller" that sticks in the ground and causes vibrations that cause the snake to think it's a "danger" area and they'll leave. I know it sounds like something out of a movie and kind of gimmicky but I've read about it on various snakes sites and it's supposed to be very effective. The only downfall is the price, they are $140 a set (which is how many they recommend for a back yard) but it'll pay for itself by avoiding a single trip to the ER. http://www.stop-snakes.com/

I read about a young boy in Edmond the other day who was bitten by a copperhead, poor kid. Anywho, hope you get your snake problem solved painlessly, be careful!

You could have spelled OSA with all those dead snakes. That's a lot of copperheads. Been a few years since I seen one where I live.

Killed this one last week, 30" long without the head and part of the tail. When I skinned it, I found 4 sacks with a fully formed baby copperheads inside.






The skin still needs a couple more coats of snake tan and it will be finished.
