      *** This looks like a prank post.  Copperheads are endangered and 
protected along the Trail in the New York area. I consider it a lucky day if 
I see one along the AT. If I saw you shoot one with the reckless attitude you 
display here I'd track you and turn you in at the first opportunity. You 
would probably have a harder time about the gun than the snake. The only 
crime problem at the shelter would be ignorant people killing wildlife...
