Sorry for the graphic photo, y'all.
Just a reminder to be watching where you step in these rural areas/on your homestead. This BIG guy was in the middle of eating a squirrel in my goat pen when I came across him. He rattled and hissed and even lunged at me to let me know he was ready to defend himself.
Now, normally, I'd leave him alone and let him go on his way. I chased off a Cottonmouth over a month ago and never saw him again.. but this guy was a LOT bigger and I was worried about my dogs, AND my goats/horse. The shotgun took care of him easily enough - too bad the poor little squirrel couldn't be saved π
