What if they are coiled up and their head is near their tail?  That is still closer than I want to get to a copperhead or rattler!  LOL

If you're out in the woods all you have to do is grab them by the tail, swing them around and pop their heads off.

Snakes are just one of the reasons I am always armed.  (But the main reason is two legged varmints!)  My EDC is a S&W .38 and/or a Ruger LCP .380.  (Yes, I normally carry both.  Only in special circumstances do I only carry one or the other.)  When I go to the woods, the .380 is replaced with my S&W .22 LR on my hip.  But the .38 is still in my pocket.  If I am deer hunting, my Ruger Blackhawk .45 is on my hip and the S&W .22 replaces the .38 in my pocket.  If I have to kill a copperhead or rattler, I don't want to have to get close enough to do it with a knife!  LOL

People often ask "Why do you carry such big knives." This morning I had an experience that would answer that question for every one.
I went to feed my chickens and found a 5'-6' chickens snake in the pen. I grabbed a board and held it in place while I grabbed my Benchmade, only to realize I had left it in my house. I reached in my front pocket and grabbed my small Queen stockman. It's sharp, and left some nasty flesh wounds on the snake, but I couldn't cut through the bone to kill it. In the end, it got away from me. If I would have had a larger knife, I could have gotten the leverage to cut through the bone and killed it. Now I'm stuck with it still roaming around.

Thanks, we leave tomorrow. A friend of mine that's going with us, got there today and reported that they were catching a bunch of crabs and Trout. We can't wait. I love eating boiled Blue Point crabs.

  Yes, we prepare well. I have been going there since I was a young man and have learn a few tricks at catching the seafood. I hope to teach them how to catch Sheep Head fish. If you don't know the trick, you'll not get a bite.

Some of the knives I plan on bringing are; a stainless GEC Trapper with Camel bone handles, a Colonial and Ontario fixed blade fish knife, a Sunrise River custom Filet knife. a couple of Ozark Trail Hobo's, a Rough Rider Moose, the girls are bringing their Rough Riders Barlows and their boy friend Paul is bringing the Benchmade I won here on IKC.

The decision of which knives to bring is an important one. I will need to have a good folder in my pocket. Plus a filet knife and knives that are suited for cleaning crabs. A multi tool and a hobo of course.
