Last night about 1 AM, my dog started barking, thought she was barking at the deer, as usual. But noticed her bark was a little different, so I went to the door and knocked for her to come. When she got to the porch, she turned and started looking at the ground, ran back down the stairs and stood about the place she was looking before. So I grabbed the flashlight, my pistol and went to check it. What I found was a king snake eating a copperhead. All my years I have never seen this in action, so I woke the kids and the wife to come watch. Almost at the the end, the copperhead's tail wrapped around a small branch and knotted up, so mr.king snake couldn't get him all the way down. So I helped him out by untangling the branch and allowed him to finish dinner. After he was done, I picked the king snake up and relocated him about 100yrds from the house in the pasture, that way my dog wouldn't kill it. Thought that was pretty cool to watch.
