Copperhead + Timber Rattler

Came across a massive copperhead years ago. I had a Suzuki Quadrunner ATV at the time and had pulled the seat off to work on the carb. My dad decided to clean up so he fired up the skid loader.

I walked over to my bike and was just about to shove my hand under the seat to pick it up when I got that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, you know, the one that says you're about to regret a decision... So instead I grabbed the seat belt the vinyl cover and flipped it over.

Underneath was a massive copperhead, coiled up. I immediately jumped out of the way and scurried across a truck to get away. My dad was on the skid loader and it went after him. Stretched out, it was over 6' long and Violent! It kept striking the bucket on the skid loader, trying to kill it.

My dad tried to pin it with the skid loader bucket, but it got away. The scary thing is, that monster is probably still out there roaming my property...
