So how did you come across it?

Pistols are HARD to use to kill snakes - unless loaded with shot. I know from experience!
Nice shot!

That is a big snake! I would not hold it. They scare me. Good eating tho. And a damn fine shot to hit it with a .40. I would have to use a shot gun so I could hit while run in the other direction.

i wish i could say that we skinned it and did something creative with the snakeskin, but no...... we did not...... we left it for the coyotes... they gotta eat too!
