Same thing here.

I was pretty good with a hay hook, using either hand. Rarely did we bale onto the ground, mostly onto hay racks. Of course the barn was never more than a couple of miles away. Here in NW il we just baled up garter and bull snakes. Harmless. I would have hated to have watch out for poisonous ones (shudder).
