  • I was inspecting a stormwater retention pond last month and this pond was located in the woods with only a narrow dirt path down one side. I forgot to clear the path first. I was so intent on looking

  • I always walk the path that looks the least snakey.  Which can really hamper bank fishing.

 They can all make you soil a perfectly good pair of underwear given the correct circumstances!

At least the people from northern states don't have to worry about burmese pythons like we have down here in South Florida. I encountered a 10 foot Burmese python recently and made sure to humanely euthanize it so it won't eat any more native wildlife or peoples pet dogs or cats. Several have been caught in excess of 17 feet and that's more than big enough to hurt someone.

Depends on the state and where in it you are.

 

SE Minnesota has Timber Rattlers, so you gotta be careful going through woods to that hidden pond.

 

I lived in Omaha, NE (my Air Force time) and one time on the way to a back-water pond we came across a Copperhead.

 

I think I'd rather face a 10'-14' Python than either of those two.
