>>Yeah Jimmy, that is very true. When an animal is found in the very center of their huge range, there isn't much of a reason to dispute what it might be, but as you mentioned, closer to the outer ranges where they are known to occur, there can be some surprises here and there as you found out up close personally..LOL!

lol...definitely a "clean the drawers" moment.

got to admit, though...it was pretty damn cool...I would have to put it as my top find to date...that and the little mole king...got pictures of the mole king, wish I would have had a camera when we caught the moccasin.

A lot of people probably wouldn't think twice about either find but obviously moccasins aren't supposed to be in this area and one in hand was killer and I have never met anyone in my area that has ever even seen a mole king, much less caught one, I know it was a first for me..I brought it home, got pictures of it and took it back the next day...If they weren't so scarce around here I probably would have kept it.
