A friend and I took a trip to the Sandhills in NC back on Thursday Oct 2.
Mid day, we spotted a small snake on the right hand side of the road, I was crusing at about 45mph maybe, and I swerved to miss it.

I didnt swerve hard enough though and just barelyclipped it's head.

I feel SOOOOOOOOO bad about it. This was a lifer for me too!! It was a small guy too, probably an '08.

All in all, the trip showed us 1 small Simus I killed 1 adult Simus freshly hit and one northern Pine freshly hit and finally one VERY destroyed red mole king, probably over 24 hours old.
The only live snakes we saw were 2 juvi coachwhips.
I'm at work now. All three DOR snakes were clean hits, no bloody gut messes except for the mole king. I can put pix up when I get home tonite.
Just........wanted to share I guess. This was my first simus I'd ever seen, I think I havent even seen a CB one with my own eyes yet. Very diappointing.
