Carbine Gypsy
Shooter
My hats off to you sir! Snakes send me into a sissyfied panic, I’m ashamed to say. Have killed one crawling up the side of my foundation with a Taurus Judge.Funny you should ask***"""
FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN CLEARING BRUSH BY HAND. ARTESIAN WELL HAS BEEN FLOWING FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS SO THE CREEK BED IS OVER GROWN AND I DECITED TO CLEAR IT TO BUILD A FIVE ACKER POND. RATTLE SNAKES LOVE THAT COOL WATER AND SHADE SHORT STORY I HAVE KILLED 14 RATTLERS 38 SHOT SHELLS 158 PELLETS OF NUMBER 9 SHOT OUT OF A 2 INCH BARREL AIN'T GOING TO WORK CHECK YOUR PATTERN AT 10 FEET ONE OR TWO PELLETS IN A RATTLERS HEAD PISSES HIM OFF A 6 INCH BLACKHAWK WORKED GOOD FOR ME .BUT I ENDED UP BUYING THE BEST SNAKE GUN OUT STAINLESS 3 INCH CHAMBER JUDGE WITH 3 INCH BARREL NUMBER 6 SHOT WORKS GREAT...
SIDE NOTE IF YOU CATCH THEM ALIVE LOCAL TAXIDERMY BUYS THEM FOR $10.A FOOT FOR.THE LARGER ONES THEY MAKE FINE HAT BANDS.
DON'T FORGET SNAKE BITE KIT.
At the time, I first moved in, I didn’t have a mower so I had to hire a lawn crew. It’s a new build so I’m pretty sure the critters, bears included, weren’t pleased with their habitat being destroyed. Who could blame them.
Well, the sight of this snake crawling up my foundation trying to get under the siding brought the lawn crew to a screeching halt.
When informed I expeditiously retrieved my steel companion, took aim ina squaring position, steady against the house: the first shot nearly cut it in half. I had to walk up on him and execute him with a shot to the head that pretty much obliterated the skull. The Judge found the evil reptile guilty of trespassing.
Once inside I calmed my nerves(never let them see you sweat. Cool as a swan on top, but paddling like hell underwater ).
