Who the ef wants to go rattle snake hunting! If I went, I'd go with dynamite you crazy f'er! Haha.
No seriously, those things scare the crap out of me.
Killed one yesterday with a rake. Quite sporting. http://img.tapatalk.com/48af4c15-c0da-b44d.jpg
My preferred snake weapon is a 12 gauge. Or, a truck tire.

Good luck!

I'm with you on this one drhp!! I hate those nasty ass things! Now this kinda looooong range hunting I could do, to hell with 3 yards!
Haha. Wanna see me squirm in my pants, put a snake in front of me.
One of my old mans good friends shot himself in the foot trying to shoot a snake, he is more afraid of them then me!
My fear started when I was a kid dove hunting, I shot one with my 20.ga and my uncle told me to put it in my vest so we can eat it, that friggin thing just squirmed and squirmed for 20 minutes! His head was removed as well. I remember walking and jumping a rabbit out of a bush in front of me and jumping 10 feet in the air!!! That's all it took.
Yeah, Im gonna shoot from further than 3 yards!
I do have some chainsaw chaps, would protect the front and sides pretty well.
Maybey a judo point?
Maybe a wide 2 blade
I bet that was a big one!Quote:
