Fer de lance and bushmasters were ubiquitous where I hanged in the 80s

I killed a bushy once with my Land Rover 110

The locals I was letting ride in the back bed stopped me and one went off the thick jungle after it
Five minutes later he comes back with it about 7-8 foot

Supper he said glowingly

All he had was an old single shot Steven’s 12 bore which he didn’t need

I grew up Deep South

Cottonmouth copperhead and big cane rattlers were common

Rarely a coral snake

I saw one one nite in our pump house at lake bruin on the pier

Only one in my life

I was about 10

Red on yellow deadly fellow

Even then I knew that

I’m in the land of Fer de Lance. They will take you out of this world. Worst pit viper on earth.
