So far I have killed a baby dusky pygmy rattle snake in my own yard and a couple of water moccasins when I was line trimming retention ponds while working for my friends company over the summer.

Scalped a big toad on one pass with my 21" in taller grass. Didn't see him on the pass coming back. Hope his friends liked his haircut

Good sized turtle probably the worst for me. Quite a few baby rabbits but the turtle definately came out in a grosser fashion.
when i was mowing part time mostly baby rabbits and frogs about like every one else, but the absolutely worst thing i ever hit was a ground hog in a ditch that was in pretty high grass. it had to have been dead for at least a week during the summer. I had to use the hot water pressure washer at the fire hall to clean it. took weeks for the smell to go away

wow, alot of bad ones, I took the top layer off a snake, it slithered away with these big white bubley things falling out, like golf ball sized, all in a row. It was nasty, I mulched it up to "put it to sleep"...
My dog. It was a dark day, indeed. I felt so bad that I wrote a song about it. It goes like this. (Sung to the tune of For Leaf Clover)...
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover who I hit with the power mower.
One leg is missing - the other is gone. The third leg is spread out all over the lawn.
No need explaining the one leg remaining that's spinning on the carport floor -

I wasn't mowin but using a 6' tiller behind my tractor. I broke a levee on my 1/2 acre pond to use the area for my watermellon garden. It drained completely in about 30 minutes so I took off with my tractor and tilled up the whole bottom. There were thousands of frogs, snakes up to 5' or 6', some small fish and thousands of tadpoles and turtles. I did not have to use any fertilizer on my garden.
Call me strange but this one seems just a little morbid.

i had a german shepard get knocked into my grass discharge by another dog.I was mowing next to a fence and trying not to hang it when all of a sudden there was this dog going under my discharge plate.i stopped the blade instantly but it was to late. 1st time on that customers lawn too. I called them and the first question i got asked was if the dogs were ok.Needless to say I felt like crap, but they were very understanding and even let me keep the lawn.
