That's a great PDF, and I think anybody who's going to spend time fishing and/or hunting in Kentucky needs to read it, at least the first few pages about how to distinguish venomous from non-venomous snakes. Snakes don't scare me, but I give them plenty of respect. Bees and wasps, I'm also allergic to the point where I carry an Epi-Pen, so those scare me. And I'm REALLY glad we don't have scorpions here! I'd be scared to death of those!

I agree it's a shame how many garter snakes, rat snakes, etc. get killed because people don't know better, or don't even care. I've found a couple basking in the sun on the street in my development, and I usually try and grab them and release them near my garden, before my neighbors find them and kill them.
