Hi guys, glad to hear some intelligent, considerate, vengeful venting.
for the Snakeman, I grew up in southeast Missouri, not in the Ozarks exactly, but close enough. In late spring do what you can to get permission to look around in the oldest most delapidated barns you can. Black Rats were the first snake I became intimately familiar with as a kid, and the first snake that I was bitten by (many, many times) I have never seen one in excess of 7 feet, but 6+ was definitely common in Scott Co.
remember:
where there is grain storage, there are lots of rodents
where there are lots of rodents, there are usually big healthy snakes not far!
Good luck
p.s. I also did see some large BRS in the immediate vicinity of a friends cabin
near Cuba, MO last summer. Again, stuff that attracts rodents also brings in the snakes.
