 How is that snake gonna hurt anybody?  It ain't got no head.  Getting into March means snake season.

Nah,, the real way to tell is the males will just bite yer butt, the females will rag on ya awhile first

They have to be alive though

that's awesome. My dad and I had two about that size creep up under our deer stand (WHILE WE WERE IN IT) about two years ago during deer season on a warmer day.
They were evidently following a scent trail as they slithered under the stand stayed a while then slithered away.
They were going down a couple of deer trails nearby. Thank God for a well built stand when ole no shoulders and his friend are literally right under your feet. We have learned to keep even our ground blinds at least a foot off the ground so we can see what's under them.
