Stuff like this happens in many places and always has...it's just that
now, thanks to the internet, everyone hears about every incident
relatively quickly.

Funny, that's never happened to me here in TX. Of course it's always a good
idea to boat armed, for snakes and such.

Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore because rough men stand ready to
do violence on her behalf.

Just curious, why would you shoot snakes?

Having had a 5 foot cotton mouth come in my boat, the answer is simple,
to protect my life,, but every snake in the water is not a cotton mouth,
and every snake is not a threat to you.

Last weekend we were cleaning up around our lake house when my nephew
yelled snake, and ran to his truck for a gun,, I came around the house
to see a perfectly harmless puff adder about 18 inches long, everyone
was yelling for the nephew to shoot the snake, and I said no,, and
showed them how well these little guys will play dead for them, even
with their tongues hanging out of the mouth, not moving, I would flip
him back on his belly,, he would roll back on his back and flop that
tongue out, then totally motionless. I showed them how harmless he was,
and how they had scared him to death,, there was no need in shooting
him, as he was already dead,, everyone laughed, and they then left him
alone. Perhaps I saved another harmless snake.

People down here kill every snake they see,, they don't even want to
take the time to learn the difference between those that will hurt you
and those that won't, they just say only good snake, is a dead one.

I shoot poisonous snakes for the same reasons people pull poison Ivy or swat
mosquitos... it makes a ton of sense. Mother nature is more than welcome to
replace them with the non-poisonous variety, and then we can all get along
just fine.

I grew up working in my folks grocery store. It was in a rural area of the
desert. We routinely killed poisonous snakes for the safety of our
customers. Later when I learned how tasty a rattlsenake is I always deep
fat fcried the larger ones, and of coursed tacked out and dried the skins.
I don't believe in wasting things if I can help it.

It would be better if they made fishing vests of kevlar (bullet and stab
proof). I've had several incidents with wackos while night fishing.
