I would observe it and let it go about it's business. I would however shoot it if it was trying to attack me. I do consider myself an ethical hunter and I treat animals with respect when on the hunt.

Im with you.
As for those that think Im all bleeding heart, to reassure you, I would shoot to kill any animal (or human) endangering me or mine, but I respect nature enough to realize that everything has a right to live and go its own way. If I have critters in my home, I dont kill them, I catch them and take them outside
if possible, yes including snakes of all varieties. If I could go "all natural" and be "one" with nature, hell yeah I'd love to try it, unfortunately I dont have my own TV show that would pay the bills for me to do something like that.
Theres a difference in killing an animal for sport because you can, and killing an animal out of necessity, I think some of you are missing that.
