A couple of nights ago I accidentally kicked this guy in the face. I was working and walking down a two track dirt road at night. I had my flashlight on but didn't see him laying in my path. I felt a little bump on my boot like I kicked a small rock but at the same time I heard the infamous rattle of a pissed off snake. As I leapt away with my cat like reflexes I looked down to see its head about an inch from my boot as he was pulling back into the coiled strike position. It scared the crap outta me. It was about 2.5-3' long and about as big around as a kiwi.
