SNAKES : encounters and weapons

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

snakes are non-aggressive, beneficial for us, and almost none you'll encounter are venomous, leave them alone

ironically, many ppl die when they kill one, go to pick up the body hours later, then get got by a reflex bite

if you really gotta dispatch one grab your favorite 45lc/410 revolver, or any garden gun with 22lr ratshot

I hate snakes like nothing else. If I could thanos snap them out of this bytch they would be first on the list.

Top 3 list of animals that body humans the most in Africa. 1 Mosquito, 2 Puff Adder, 3 Black Mamba.



You will find more African people that fear snakes than larger animal encounters. They are unseen and plentiful. When I saw mongoose start coming thru I felt

Snake camo = goat camo

Part two..
Snake = God's wisest creature.


Cot damn it....cheewie..
We went to light speed.

There is no way that imperial Snake cruiser out ran us.

I think to myself in hero mode.
Knowing I am about to try to kill some shyt.
I have no experience with grassroot weapons in the exact wild.
nikka!!!
I could die.

Which translates to thinking about my daughter.
So I am big mad.
Rich homje Quan some type of way about this.
I have to hop back up the porch quick as fukk over the bannister again.

I do not see this Snake.

There is no way this Snake slithered away.

So I perch on the front porch like Gung ho and roadblock. Eye'n f'oh snakes...

Still in hero mode...
Why hero mode..
My daughter nikka.

This Snake gotta go.

So I am on the porch a long ass time scanning and scannin..
A long long time passes.
I am going over every inch of this elevated perch to get a visual.

My yard does not have bushes.
The grass is low and the red steps have red wood chips.

I swear before gawd...
Did this Snake disappear.

This is no fever dream.
There is a real snake predator on the front steps somewhere.

A nikka still scanning....


I turn on my robocop meets terminator digital visual view in my mind.

Where is this fukkin snake.

Still scanning....


nikka...

We scannin..........


Whut..

Still scanning nikka.

We don't have much patience.
or time.

Look subconscious....
Don't melt down...we have to find this snake.

Our daughter...

look I don't even wanna say anything.
much else other than that.

We have to kill this thing.

Cue predator score music......
Cue: predator meets robocop meets terminator scanning special efx

I am in my hero mode...

Bill Duke from predator meets Jesse ventura meets road block and Gung ho.
We huntin..

Snakes.

Cobra...

nikka yo joe....

In my mind.
I bill Duke ssshhh my self.
Stalking the porch.
Scanning for this snake.

Scanning

Scanning


God's wisest creature.
Has given me the slip.

Till...

In simple plain sight.
This snake has had me fooled for at least a half hour.

By laying next to the steps in plain sight all this time.

All this time rhe snake camo kept my eyes from seeing this snake in plain sight. By just laying next to the steps.

Tha fukk!?!!!!!

God's wisest creature on display.

This motherfukker treated't me.

now I want my lick back.
for being humbled.
like I never been humbled ever.
Nobody ever did no shyt like this.

Except this is a snake and God's wisest creature verse the wisest kid, circa 1982.



I aim my shovel like Arnold in predator.

The plan is.

Imma immobilize the snakehead, from the porch.
using the porch overhead like a perch..
Then run down the steps with the nikka speed of the gods.
Armed with the pick axe,....go boom.

When i will learn.

This is no easy comedic act nikka.
This is God's wisest creature.


I get in position.
Like Arnold in his perch in predator.
Then throw the spaded spear.
down on the snake from above it on the steps.

I actually trap the snake between the steps and the ground.
I adjust the shovel to lock down tbe snake betwen the ground net ti the steps.
To go crazy ham with the pick axe down the steps.
Like one of those medieval swashbuckler movies.
where they fight back out of the wine cellar.

nikka..ho
Tally ho,..nikka.

I rush down the steps.
like some valiant southshore south side warrior.


I raise my pick axe.


Ham!
Ham !
Ham!


nikka...
Did this Snake just juke mek...!!!


Oh sheit!!!


Snake got god level juke moves too.

Wtf!!??!!!!

At the same time.
The snake has been also working at the shovel.

Which I learn why I need a flat head shovel.

This snake is strong enough and smart enough.
To make a fulcrum and work his way out of this shyt. While juke'n the fukk outta me.

Oh sheit!!

The shovel is loosening.

Subconscious kicks in likE obi won.

OBI WON : LUKE!!
Use the force!!
Run back up the steps nikka.

I run back up the steps.


Frantically readjusting the shovel to pin the snake.

I get as good a detailed look at the snake. To counter what he is doing.
For real f'oh real.
This snake is powerful as fukk.

He is resisting and manipulating the shovel.

I lift 357 on incline flat supine and closed.

I dead five plus easy.
Wtf......


How!!

I keep trying. To lodge the snake between the dirt wood chips and steps.

When I tell you this bytch strong from neck to head.

I ain't lying.
Plus this snake put epic juke moves on me.

I am mike Singletary from south shore. Nobody ever juke me in life.

Consider my self humbled by a snake after four decades on earth.

This shyt real....

Oh sheit!!


Art Barr

 

[Art Barr]

I run back down the steps.
With south shore gawd level speed on max.

Hamph !!!
Hamph!!
Ham!!!


nikka...
The snake juked you, again.

Subsconscious...going crazy.
nikka!!

Run back up the steps.

I get back to the perch up the steps and readjust rhe shovel.

Finally pinning the snake.
when he made a move.
to almost break free.

I trap his head and he getting his juke tree of moves together for me.

So this time I got his head trapped.
fukk the head. Imma just try to smash him.

I go clubbah lang

I bust the snake a good time.
It had to be life changing. as the snake makes a short strike lunge.

Which comes on some blatant strike.
to make you miss and fukk you up type level of puglilism.

I clubba Lang tha body and just barely evade that snake lunge.

that purposeful shyt they do to get you outta there.



Now he mad and juke'n and trying to really get loose.
I run back up the steps.
Readjust my shovel.
Get my mistakes and mechanics together.

I had to channel the power of John Henry workman and my tennis experience as the black agassi to get myself together.

I stabilize the shovel again...

Get my mistakes together.

The gi joe horns blaze in my brain.

Yo joe...
i'ze huntin snakes....

I run down the steps with the pick axe

Hamph!!
Hamph!!
Hamp!!!
Ham
Hamm
Ham

Hamm
Hamm
Hamm

Hamm
and a ham
.....

Huff
Puff

Ham.....



Exhausted huff
Exhausted puff



Ham.

And a...

A ham....


And a ham..



I am pounding this snake with blows from the gods.

That bloom.
Bloom.
Every ham is making excavation level sound in this quiet country neighborhood. it is Sunday and now my whole church going quiet neighborhood has formed outside my house.
Where all they see is a crazy jacked black guy.
pic axe'n his front yard like a madman.

I hear,...you okay.
In the background from the crowd.

I respond back in the most tired.


I'ze...

Mek trying to kill.....

Ah snake.

Tied as fukk.

They like what are you doing.
I guess I was so exhausted.
Nobody heard me say snake...then an old head walks up and takes the pick axe from me. like you got it.

It is thirty pieces or more.
You lucky you did this.


I done butchered this snake.
The old head is like oh sheit...


You killed!


a real diamondback copperhead snake

I was like that was a real snake snake....


I thought back about every missed swing.
The juke moves of the snake
The intelligence under duress of the snake

To try to get lose and attack.

I could have died.

Nah..frfr

Al capone : dead't

Once I got over the shock of possibly dying.

Plus my daughter being in possible danger anger
I ain't gon front.

I felt so fukk'n powerful.


Plus ignorant.
to this country southern shyt .
as far as vermin.



Like I can kill a real poisonous snake frfr.

I would soon learn.
That confidence can be humbled.

my old man always says "a snake will make you hurt yourself" and he ain't lying

when i was about 13 or 14 my 15 yr old next door neighbor shot himself in the leg with a .22 when my other neighbor's dog alerted us to a water moccasin in the grass behind the fence where we stayed. it was a helluva day, and in all the commotion and excitement the snake managed to survive 1 adult, 3 teens, and 3 guns. we, my neighbor, took the only casualty.

to this day i'm convinced that snake is somewhere right now still laughing like a muthafukka

This first snake storytelling story got me.

I got like a half dozen more to go.

I will start my first encounter with a snake ever.

A diamond back copper head.

There's no such thing as a "diamondback copperhead". Those are two completely different kinds of snake that look nothing alike.

You probably killed a diamondback water snake, which is a nonvenomous species. And that story was sad as hell, you basically tortured an animal for an extended period of time for no reason and then killed it due to your own ignorance.

Yup, WAY more people die trying to mess with/kill snakes than by just leaving them alone. No one ever dies from leaving alone a snake they already saw, especially in the USA where there are only 5-6 snakebite deaths nationwide across the entire country each year.

I disagree with shooting it in terms of killing. People are terrible at shooting into the ground at close range, and ricochets and other mistakes happen all the time. If you really really think a snake needs to not be in an area, then get an experienced snake catcher to remove it.

until... one dayI overhead conversations on snakes. I overheard. .

Nah nah.
nikka...you need a pick axe and a flat head shovel.

You hold the snake head in the dirt and knock his shyt back with the pic axe.

That sounds so dumb an unnecessary. A good way to get bit when the snake wiggles out from under the shovel and then either rushes towards your feet or up the shovel handle just scared of the sharp end and desperately trying to get away.

I already survived a water moccasin at the creek when I was six down here for dolo. With the pump action red rider bb gun as a shawty. I had to stick stock in the dirt to cook and shoot. When I was to weak as a shawty.
To cook back a rifle the right way.
So I survived this crazy water moccasin scare as a kid for dolo.

"Survived" lol. That Water Moccasin wasn't going to do anything to you (if it was really a water moccasin and not just a regular water snake). So long as you leave it alone it will leave you alone.

There's only been 2 deaths due to water moccasin in the last 50 years. One was a guy who was on drugs and didn't seek medical attention, they weren't even sure if the bite or the drugs killed him. The other one was a religious fundamentalist who got bit holding snakes on purpose in a church service, but he also drank strychnine in that same service and didn't get medical attention in time.

Even in the unlikely event that you get bit by a water moccasin, just go to the hospital ASAP and you'll almost certainly be okay.

Yup. I've heard so many stories where people shot themselves or shot someone else trying to kill a snake. You are MUCH more likely to get hurt trying to kill a snake than get hurt cause you left a snake alone.

crazy thing is it wasn’t even his fault. he wasn’t fukkin with the snake the adult was. we were just standing at a distance watching. and it was that same adult who gave the gun to my homeboy to hold. My boy got bored and put the gun in his pocket and forgot about it. after fukking with it for awhile the adult picked the snake up with a stick and started to chase us and when we turned to run the gun went off lol
