Rattlesnake Weapon of choice.

A small pistol or shoty would be good in case it is pissed at 10 yards. a shovel will not reach that. sometimes it better to play safe at 10 yards then at 2 yards and a shovel. better to be safe then sorry

Wow, even Idabooner can do some dumb things!  I do not feel so bad now for some of the dumb things I have done.  When I was reading your write up I was saying "Oh No, that sound like a bad idea!"  I have never come up on a snake, but I am sure after I peed myself I would probably do the same thing you did with my 300WSM and wonder why I am cut up all over.......

A neighbor of ours down in Lincoln said the snakes were really bad this year. He had never had one in his yard for 15 years and had 3 this summer. We had one on our property that lost it's head....I hate snakes....

The rimfire and pistol "shotshells" work very well on snakes...
The problem isn't that the shells suck, it's the rifling in your firearm! It distorts the shot and jumbles up the shot column so you don't really have a "pattern" when they exit the barrel...which is why they only work at close distance. The plus side, however, is that you don't have to worry about ricochets.

if you're dumb like me and shoot at a sheet of plywood from 10feet to "check out the pattern" they can and will bounce back and nail you... though it's barely noticeable (eye protection would be a good idea).

out of a 38 snubby... for the sake of "hey that looks like fun!"

I have a Taurus Judge that shoots 2.5 inch .410 shells. That will mess up a snakes medical records for sure.

If yer killin em and not eatin em yer missin a great meal. I kinda freak my friends out cause I like to play with em. If you spend a little time calming them down you can pick em up and pet em.

just get a high powered airsoft gun, thats all you really need(with metal ammo).

I wouldnt try that

Plus a good high powered airsoft gun is as expensive as a real gun...
