The mark on the top of th ehead led me to believe that chuck got a hold of him or a good peck in. Who knows, some of my pheasants don't take too kindly to snakes and I have one group that has a couple chicks left, though a bunch are missing, and they will take me on if I dare venture in the pen. I'm pretty sure that they would un invite their guest the hard way. I honestly don't know if a bull would try a chuck or not. He hangs in the shade alot by a big Rose bush that was right where this snake was found.

One of those things we'll never know. A big raven is fiesting on his rotting carcass as we speak.
