Rattle snake

[mike56]

Not hunting but I will be posting a dead snake so I thought I would post here,,
About midnight I walk out side to do my yard rounds and check on things before going to bed,,
This little fart was on my walk way 20 yards from the house, Normally this is a job for the P17 ,But I knew the Huben 22 was loaded and on the gun safe, So the GKI got its second snake kill this summer,, This is West Texas I no better than to walk out of my house at night without a stick or a gun. He did not sound off and that really pissed me off..

I got a pygmy rattler . I'd of left it alone if my dog had not seen it and got interested .


Had 7 rattles 2 rows of 3 and one end

Anyway I don't usually run across these much . Then it's not like they stand out like a bigger diamond back

It's real fun to grab a hay/straw bale and have one lunge at you!

There are a lot more good snakes than bad ones ,, If I could keep King snakes and bull snakes in my yard there would be no rattle snakes ,

Everything has a purpose in life. They are good for rodent control when you are not out there on patrol! I came up with a new definition of a snake. It is a snake head attached to a long skinny butt. I noticed you didn't try a heart or lung shot. I could find them either. Good shooting!

Moccasins are about the only ones I straight up kill if seen. Non poisonous I let go to do there job. Nothing like a oak snake falling from a tree next to you with a squirrel or bird rolled up in a death grip.. ( there done for )

Up here our faces hurt when it's winter time if your outside.. Thankfully no poisonous snakes here just a dozen or so small/harmless varieties. That GK1 though.... Pistol don't do it for me (and we aren't currently allowed to purchase them anyways) but if so that's the one I'd get.

so I had this buddy that liked drink to much beer and so he had a fridge out side to keep it cold but people would steel his beer so he came up with a plan he got a rattle snake a placed it in the fridge the cold slowed the ting down and his beer stoped getting stolen he would take the thing out out from time to time so it was a mystery as to when the snake was in there or not.
one day I found out mr Steve was in the hospital you guessed it snake bit. I ask him what happened he said the power went out the snake was all there. : (

Poisonous get a shovel in my yard

Non poisonous can continue doing their job and better look out for my two terriers

These two run the yard.

Ain't that the truth!
These are the reasons I always have my walther pb under my arm or on my belt. Way to many of these rattlers and copperheads here on the mountainside.

I'm lucky that my part of Ohio doesn't have many poisonous snakes. Occasionally a rattler in the southern part of my county.
