And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

There are four highly poisonous copperhead snakes in this picture. Find them or be bitten.
Nah They're just copperheads. They stink so bad and are so lazy, I can't see getting bit. I used to catch 'em and sell 'em to the snake church when I was a kid. Just get them in the morning when they are cold. AND NOT "deadly poisonous" They're Hemotoxic, almost nobody over the age of ten dies from copperhead bites. You'll just wish you could. IT HURTS and you swell up and turn black--Ask me how I know.---Ray
I got 2$ per for copperheads. 3$ for a big rattler. That was big money for a kid in eastern Kentucky in the late 60's and early 70's. Smokes were only .25cents a pack and a moon pie and Ni Hi was 45 cents. But it was legal back then, so it made almost as much money as digging "sang" in the fall. Its a federal crime to sell snakes now. I guess the snake dancers go out and catch their own ...Ray
Damn close!
ReplyDeleteThe thing is..... if you can see four, there are probably another dozen under the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThey belong in a snake church, not out there in the wild.
ReplyDeleteThey belong with my shovel cutting their heads off. Ick.
DeleteFound 'em - give me your shovel!
ReplyDeleteYou are a brave woman!
DeleteFound three right away.
ReplyDeleteThen #4 bit me on the ankle...

ReplyDeleteHow much was the snake church paying per snake?

ReplyDeleteI see three of them (bottom right, 1/4 up ~center, and one half way up in center). Guess I'd be toast. Where's the 4th one?
