That's 3 in his yard so far this year.

Memorial Day weekend I missed a 5ft one on the tractor. It almost covered my driveway as it crawled across. I just couldn't get to it in time and went looking in the brush after the sneaky creature and still couldn't find it.

Until I looked at the pics, I was having trouble figuring out your measuring system. Are those English or metric crocs? :smilelol5:
Take away the Second first, and the First is gone in a second :rules: :patriot:

Before I looked at the pictures I was wondering what a croc was. I am guessing the snake was about three foot? The question I have though is how many crocs equals one boot?

I had already taken my boots off for the day, which is pretty much as soon as I get home. I went snake hunting in Croc :biggrinjester: hence my failed attempt at humor. My mother in-law was panicking because I only used about a 3ft board to pin the snake down so it could be separated from it's head. She probably would really freak out if she knew in the past I have used a rock big enough to keep them crawling off and a pocket knife to decapitate and not a chopping hoe.

I'm still not happy about missing the biggest one I have ever seen in the wild.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.
