[QUOTE="aryfrosty, post: 1509500, member: 16877"] We raised our kids on 600 acres in NW Georgia. One Sunday I came in from the overnight shift at the S.O. and went to bed while the wife tooks the kids to church. About half-way remember hearing them come in and somebody cranking the big mower. My wife came in and woke me about an hour later, shaking like a leaf and white as a sheet. All she could say was, "sn- sn- snake." Once I realized she and the kids weren't bit I went out to the edge of the woods where she had bailed off the mower and left it running. It was dry, as always, and the snakes would usually come down after dark to drink out of the pool. A black tailed Timber Rattler came out early and had the bad luck to begin his crawl out just as she came up to him. She thought she'd gone over a big limb because the mower bogged down a little before it started spittin' out snake. Never found his head nor tail...Figured that when the front tire rolled over him he balled up to get his warpaint on and the blades lopped off the tail and head. We collected pieces over about a 20 ft circle and stretched him as much as we could. Minus the missing parts we had about seven feet of snake. Her rules after that day were: 1 If it doesn't have legs it's a snake. :eek2: 2 If it doesn't have a sign hanging around its' neck sayin' it ain't a rattlesnake...then it IS a rattlesnake! I hate snakes. Now that we live in New Hampshire I don't worry about them so much. I have seen ONE in the past 12 years. [/QUOTE]
