Must not of had hogs. Got hogs? No snakes, they taste like, wait everything must taste like chicken with hogs. I don’t kill raptors or snakes, if they aren’t rattlesnakes. Bull, blow, and gartersnakes keep rattlesnakes out of my yard for the most part. Now clearing the snakes and hogs out of the Beltway in DC is going to be harder.
The hogs were in the hog lot, across the road. As I recall, the snake got macheted in the middle. The Hawks remained pets for some time. 1960s... May have predated any laws against it.
