That's my neighbor, Chris, with the rattlesnake he took down in the neighbors yard.  Unnervingly so, we're seeing more of these around our neighborhood lately, and I gotta tell ya...not too many warm and fuzzies floating around with them nearby!  
I'm sure they serves a purpose in the world - eating mice, etc. - but the stamina this thing had (or possibly it's will to live) was down right scary!  Talk about a tough fight!  Anyway, glad neighbor Dave's dogs sounded the warning and glad neighbor Chris was able to deliver the final blow...I slept a little easier.  
Hayden just went through the RAD Kids program at the Sheriff's office here and he learned how to fight off strangers.  I now feel the need to go over snake safety in the yard.  Ugh.....

Snake safety is a must for the kids. John put out 4 gallons of Snake Away and we are getting moth balls today. We need to all adopt an OUTSIDE cat to keep them away.
