LEQUIRE, Okla. -- One Oklahoma resident is getting much praise after she killed several copperhead snakes by herself.
On Friday, Susan Thompson was visiting her neighbor, Mrs. Newby, when she discovered that the 72-year-old had taken care of 11 copperhead snakes that she found under her home in Lequire, Oklahoma.
Thompson said Newby had used a shotgun, a shovel and a rake to get rid of the snakes.
She posted a photo to her Facebook page with the caption, "Mrs Newby killed 11 copperheads last night at her house! She's a snake killer if you need help call her! She is 72 years old!"
Facebook users were full of praise for Thompson's neighbor. One woman even commented, "I love Mrs. Newby. Does she need more shells?"

I will leave the obvious joke alone. :)
I have a Android tablet that has automatic word selection. If you start typing a word, it automatically places a word that starts with those letters as you type. If you hit ‘space’ then it selects that as the word you wanted.
It sometimes guesses wrong and the results can be pretty funny...................
Haha, thank you. Ladies back then were pioneer women, very tough girls.
Apple spell checkers drive me crazy.
I lived with a six foot boa constrictor when I was in college. It was my roommate’s.
I prefer mammals.
Bullshit! Both them and cottonmouths will come after you.
I use the Ruger 10/22 version.
That sounds more like an Black Racer or Indigo Snake. Keep them around and you do not have to worry about any poisonous snakes. Years ago, we had one around the house. He was not afraid of us. We would watch him hunt.
Taste like chicken?
Yum!
Shotgun blast u der the house? After one shell, her ears were ringing so badly she wisely switched weapons.
Microsoft and Android are no better.....

So? I’ve lost more blood, had more scratches playing with a cat, than ALL my snake bites combined
On a visit to the Outer Banks we were walking a boardwalk through a nature preserve over the wetland and marsh. In the creek we saw a Moccasin swimming; as it came near to us it opened its mouth and appeared to try to reach up at us. No problem from 6-7 feet away, but the attitude appeared aggressive.
Dad moved the family to North Carolina in ‘59 for work.
My Mom wasn’t at all pleased when she found out about the Copperhead snakes.
Don’t know for sure, but wouldn’t be surprised, if it was a factor in our move to Connecticut the next year.
So does the Boa!
My grandmother used to pick up big ratsnakes on a stick and cart them off to the corn crib where they could do some good.
My first thoughts “She’s killing Democrats...”
If there are small children around, it is a good thing to get rid of poisonous snakes.
Tree huggers may know this, but copperheads surely don't.
