If only they could be stopped as effectively.I thought you were talking about the snakes in DC.
Note: any 3-letter agencies that may be tuned in, that was NOT a threat. Just wishful thinking, thanks.

I prefer to either vaporize or launch the bastards. 3 inch 12 gage in bird buck or slug depending on the background snake and other considerations.My personal choice for anything that slithers on the ground is some .410 love

Seriously though shotguns are a good rattle snake defense device. They like to curl up and not leave camp or areas I claim. I tell them they can leave vertically or horizontally but it must confuse them so they just sit there. So they leave vertically, in pieces usually as I carry their carcasses out and launch the head off a shovel or machete. My experience is hunting n camping in AZ. Haven't seen too many snakes here except some of the trails around the lake. Right now the lakes are high so I expect to see some more often.
These guys hunting pythons in Florida should be using guns not their hands. They don't have to be alive for the bounty and they just kill them anyways. I guess they get additional money from the parts.
Was thinking about putting the ol' Ruger single ten to use for them. What snake shot do you prefer? I have the CCI, but am thinking the Federal with the crimped front may be better?I use a 22 myself, head shot plus a double tap and then throw it over a cross fence for the buzzards or ants. Got one last Sunday
Just a plain old 22LR round nose, I don't even have any snake shot ammo.Was thinking about putting the ol' Ruger single ten to use for them. What snake shot do you prefer? I have the CCI, but am thinking the Federal with the crimped front may be better?
candcallen,
Maybe the python hunters are eating the snakes after they collect the bounty??
(Python is tasty, especially if you don't know what you are eating. = CHUCKLE.)
yours, satx
I like the crimped end .22 shot better than the CCI with the blue plastic tip. I've used the crimped ones on some pretty big Rattlers and it works well.Was thinking about putting the ol' Ruger single ten to use for them. What snake shot do you prefer?

I missed the bottom part...the j/k.Wad cutters, clean 'em right out.
Joking, good catch.
