My wife berated me for not killing water moccasins that I observed and photographed on one of those rails to trails paths where I do some distance skating (Fall Line Trace in Columbus, GA). It was not the sort of place to pull my airweight Smith and start blazing away.

I can see it happening...back in “69” (Thailand)
while driving in the middle the night,
I mistook a king cobra for a piece of fire hose....until it moved away.

I’m sorry for all the snake lovers out there, but if I have a bag of clubs, the next foursome will not have a 20’ give me.

I think you are supposed to let those play through.

That’s why when playing golf, you should try to keep it on the fairways.

when Ungerer “saw what looked like a stick blowing in the wind on the green,” ... Upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t a stick at all — it was a snake.

That's why I shoot every stick I see, a policy that keeps me out of the woods because I can't afford it!

Years ago I was golfing on a mountain course in Virginia and noticed a big rattlesnake just off the fairway. I told the group behind us about it so they could avoid it. On the green I look back and see the group killing it with clubs and large rocks. While I thought that was unnecessary at the time, they did give it to the course restaurant which served it that night.

FL? I don’t think it was that unusual at all.

All you need for a big bad snake is a good hawk. Look at the intensity on that bird's face!

The snake looks pretty full. Any golfers missing?

It is hard to be sure but that one does not look all that large to me.

8 feet is not an unusual length for a pit viper.

My son, our dog and I were hiking at Windy Hill on the SF Peninsula a couple days ago. Had one crossing the trail in front of us...we pulled up maybe 15 feet from it. I guess we were scanning too much toward our feet. Need to work in my situational awareness and look farther down the trail. Good thing our pup didn’t lunge toward it and start barking his head off.

Looked like a small one, only about four feet long.
