Hey Big Bill,, Yes you are SOOO right in what you say!! At my age I know better,, its just that I get so caught up reading Ed (Shadow),,Long Island Hunter,, (Jeff) & my Good Buddy Harry,s  posts,, (Many others here as well) That I have become somewhat of an adolesant "Competative Hunter". This is just plain WRONG & I know it. Mike Splash said it well,,How could you have thoght that snake was a Copper Head?? Of course I knew it was not (been hunting a LONG time!!) We ALL make mistakes,, Today I killed a snake that I should NOT HAVE!! To those that have or will see my other post here today,, I screwed up big time,, that snake should still be alive in my yard, he was no threat whatsoever. Ok,, I admit to my wrong,, now I got a Dam Coon  Im gonna get!! Tim.

Hey Tim!  It's OK, but keep your eye on the target and keep your powder dry -- I mean, keep your air guns ready.  That varmint isn't as smart as you.  You will get him if he makes the mistake of raiding the garbage one time too many.  You must have been really looking hard to see the snake in the first place.  BTW, did you ever find the opossum?

Tim ol' buddy.. I 'm so happy to have been a bad influence on you :-)

I 've killed one or two black garden snakes around my house after one was 2" from my door step when I opened the door to go outside.  It was laying there resting or setting a trap.  It started hissing at me and launched at me to bite me bringing its head inside the doorway.  That could have been my son..  Since my wife planted a garden all around the house, these snakes came out of nowhere in numbers and became a nuissance.  When you see more than 2 of them in 1 day (different size) just inches from your house (or door), it's time to do something about it.  I didn't feel bad at all.  I had a cat at the time and didn't worry about rodents or anything, nor had I ever seen one while the cat was alive or after..

Tim, love your possom story!  
At least you were able to shoot it and hit it.  I 've been trying to get a shot off at the one visiting my garbage for almost a year now!  He always seems to disappear into the night when I come back with the 350 or he 's a no show when I wait for him..  Oh well, it does suck when you don't recover your quarry though (I should know with the g-hogs..), but at least he won't be bothering you or spilling your garbage anymore.
