Rickp Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I've lived the entirety of my 43 years in the rural south. Snakes are an everyday occurrence during the warmer months. Whether your region calls them black snakes, black rat snakes of black racers, leave them alone. They will be your best protection against venomous breeds. They are not aggressive by nature and will only strike as a means of last resort. They will "musk" rather easily, though, when they feel the least bit threatened. That smell is awful. Where we lived in CT they were mostly copperheads and some rattlesnakes. I learned at a very early age to be careful.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I grew up in the middle of the Jefferson National Forest on the border between North Carolina and Virginia. The mountain range directly behind the house I grew up in is called "Devil's Den". The one in front is called "Iron Mountain". It's an extremely rocky section of the Appalachian Mountain range with deep canyons carved out by The New River. It is completely engulfed with Timber Rattlesnakes. Copperheads and Cottonmouths are common as well but mostly stay clear of occupied areas. We didn't see them nearly as often as Timber Rattlers unless we were messing around the river. But those Rattlesnakes were everywhere. For that matter, bobcats and black bear were as well. We definitely had to be careful. I've seen black bear while walking my home course. If you leave them alone and don't get between the mom and her cubs, they won't bother you either. Rickp and PMookie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
