Like clockwork, the dog is at the back door waiting, while mom and the kiddo are getting ready to eat supper. I take the pup outside, walk down the driveway, and I look to the south, where notorious rabbits like to eat rotting peaches under the peach tree.... it's around 6:20 or so... sun is already passed the horizon and giving off a good amber glow, and what do I see? What looks like a massive lizard!
So i take a gander a little closer, and much to my surprise, a 2 ft diamond back is waiting, perched on some bricks...(I didn't measure him before I shot him, but he was perched on the bricks covering our vent, fore we have a pier and beam house, and had plenty of snake on either side of the vent hole, which is 16" wide)
I attach the dog to the pole, go inside and fetch the 20g and come back outside, and that sucker is looking for me! So I let him eat some dove shot.... first shot was a little low, and shot him backwards 2 feet. Second shot was not so easy on him. Sucker moved for about an hour after being disemboweled and decapitated.
First one I've seen since February.... So just a reminder, keep an eye out for the little guys, especially this weekend. It's supposed to be a warm one.
