Tossed it into a deep pile of brush to keep the dogs away from it.
Not a chance...down in a gully between our houses...watershed area. Way too overgrown and the carcass will be eaten by something tonight most likely.

Snake falls from the sky onto a woman mowing her lawn. Then a hawk attacked them both
In a bizarre series of events, a routine lawn-mowing chore turned into a terrifying ordeal for a woman in Silsbee, Texas, after she was attacked by a snake and a hawk at the same time.
Peggy Jones was mowing her lawn Tuesday when a snake fell from the sky and wrapped itself around her arm. As she tried to rid of the clinging reptile, it began snapping at her face and broke her glasses.
While the snake was gripping tightly at her forearm, a hawk suddenly swooped down from above and began attacking Jones, attempting to wrest away the slithery serpent.
"I just kept saying, ‘Help me, Jesus. Help me, Jesus,’" she told NBC affiliate KPRC-TV.
Jones recalled the hawk coming at her at least four times before it finally pulled the snake off and flew away.
Photos shared by KPRC-TV show deep cuts and bruises on Jones' bloodied right forearm. She was rushed to the emergency room after her husband heard her screams and came running.
"I was yelling and screaming. He didn’t know what I was saying. I thought I was bit by a snake," she recalled.

My worst was right after we moved to Oklahoma City, we were in a development only a couple years old that was still being built out. Took a bunch of moving boxes and our trash to the curb one night without wearing shoes. Heading back into the garage and there’s an effing scorpion staring me down looking agitated (I must have bumped it with a box on the way out). I just stared…..and it stared just a few feet away. Saw a box with a couple outdoor blankets in it to my right in the garage and grabbed and smashed. Probably should have relocated the scorpion, but had no idea how in that moment.
pretty much describes my current state of mind regarding most people actually...LOL
Well done good and faithful servantWe're taking care of our neighbor's two dogs while they're at the beach. I was out running some errands and pulled down to their house to let the dogs out (yes, it was me). I went ahead and turned the car around so I'd be ready to leave after I finished and saw this writhing on the driveway...
Accidentally ran right over the head...never saw it until I turned around. Whoopsie daisy! Thought I'd memorialize it a la D. Boon and his bar.
That would be a nightmare. Doesn’t mention if the husband is handicapped, but he was at home at the time.You might want to skip this post...

You didn’t include the part:
“Though her recovery journey is still underway, Jones is now back on the tractor - with the help of her husband.”
What a guy…
To the OP, good deed.
Heard about this on the radio this morning. Thought it was funny when they thought she was on meth because of the story she told.
I fear two things:
- Snakes
- Heights
And don't ask, because NO, I'm NEVER watching this film:

That right there is the big thing. If I can see them from at least 10 yards away, I really don't care. But, they are hard to see in the grass.
I've twice heard rattlers buzzing only to look down and see them less than a foot away. Fortunately, not coiled either time...they were stretched out in the other direction. A buddy of mine was night hiking and stepped on a rattler's back...it's head snapped up and hit him in the side of the leg (just the flat head). Best part was, he was like the fifth guy in line so the others had stepped over it and never saw it.
Makes you wonder how many times you were this close and never saw anything.
