This past week ha killed 52
copperheads with two shots
from his 12 gauge- gun. The
first shot killed a mother
nd her 30 yoimg unborn mtd
the second a mother nd her
20 unborn.
The snakes were killed In
the same spot a few hours

several other copperheads
within a few hundred yards of
, All wlthi
same location. All within
a coigtle hundred yards of
