🐍 HUNTERS BEWARE! 🦌
Deer hunters near the Meeks Community came across something unexpected while planting food plots — a nine-foot boa constrictor!
The snake was humanely dispatched on scene and is believed to have been an escaped or released exotic pet. While boas are not native to Georgia, they can still pose a danger to small animals — and give quite a scare to anyone crossing paths with them in the woods.
⚠️ If you encounter a large or unusual snake, do not attempt to capture or kill it yourself. Contact the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office or Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for assistance.
Stay alert out there, hunters — you never know what’s lurking beyond the treeline!
