After reading of your many exploits, I have come to the conclusion that it's just an absolute miracle that you are alive and moderately functional. I thought I was a troublemaker in my long-lost youth, but I don't hold a candle to you. I (and even my more adventurous friends) didn't willingly get within a football-field length of snakes, livestock or even large dogs. Didn't matter if it was just a black racer or green snake, you could count on us to scatter like buckshot. We were extremely brave when we were high up on the bank and "cherry bombing" the water moccasins below. Now that was good, clean, all-American fun. Once in a blue moon, we would actually hit one. Of course, one of the offended moccasins would eventually start up our way and all us brave boys would run screaming like it was truth-or-dare time at a girl's slumber party. To this day, I'm still convinced that the best way to handle snakes is with heavy weaponry. Why hack 'em up with a hoe when you can send 'em your very best from 50 feet away with one of Mr. Remington's creations?
