My sister lives in South Carolina and she was having issues with Copperheads in her yard. Those things are not only poisonous, but can be aggressive; definitely not a snake you want to encounter while walking barefoot through your backyard. She bought a few of these fake owls and put them up along her fence line and they haven't seen a snake since. Coincidence? Maybe. But it certainly seems like the fake owls did their job.
Now that the snakes are out, you might want to get your dog vaccinated. It takes two shots, but if they encounter a buzz worm it will help them.
If you love your dog and let him run a lot, it might save you some grief down the road...
I ran across a couple of Bull Snakes yesterday at the golf course. It looked like they were on a first date or something.
The good part for me was that I saw them before they saw me. I was also in a cart, so I didn't have to scream or anything...
First thanks to Mike and Angela at the Blue Creek Sport Shooting Complex for putting on a great event... Top Shot 2014 was fantastic and congrats to our champion Seth Berglee. The natural beauty of Montana was on display just a few miles south of Billings all weekend long...
