Snake! back yard.
LOL thanks for the diagrams there Mike. Its amazing this thing has turned into a did ya do right or did ya do wrong thread. his property, his right, and sheesh people it was just a snake... not like he killed a female moose about to give birth !!!! Oh... but then again.. what about its "mate for life" .... hunt it down and kill it too.
(keep in mind I have little regard for animals, rodents or fish. So form all the opinons you want of me. If its a snake, a squirrel, a rat, a whistle pig, a rock chuck, or any other misguided rodent it will die becaus of my doings. After all God gave me the knowledge to use gun powder, opposing thumbs, and most of all...... all them little moving targets.)
