Followed the dog to the backyard to rub some shedding fur off her and spied this viper 15' from the bottom of the deck steps and 5' from where she squatted to pee as I stood there barefoot wearing shorts!!. It was a little more than 2' long. I caught it by holding it's head down w the flat side of a hoe and grabbing it's head/neck and relocated it a mile from the backyard after showing it to the neighborhood kids and telling them to not mess w these and holler for their parents if they see one.
