Mama was cleaning out her pool today and discovered this Cottonmouth living in the pool eating frogs. She had tried to live up to the woman in BC who chopped them up with her hoe. She put it in a bucket after beating it with a shovel but I couldn't miss the chance to use one of the Colt SAAs I'm currently playing with to take it's head off. Made in 1907 and refurbished who knows when it is now a .357 with 5 1/2 inch wartime barrel (address on side of barrel) and Micro sights. Magnum brass with 158 grain bullet over 6 grains of Herco. Not real stout but plenty good snake medicine especially since this was not a very big one.

Cool. I am OK with most snakes, but am not fond of the ones which can kill.

I Have only met one snake I liked. By the time I met him he had already been to the Nacona boot company and is now a size 14 wide
WOW! That's a big snake!

I have some shot capsules in .429 that I filled with number 9 shot. Around 5.5 grains of Universal gives a good pattern at 10 feet. It punches all the way through a standard thickness of cardboard. No snakes have been willing to be test subjects, SO it is unproven yet as to whether it would kill a snake. The shot capsules are pushed in by thumb pressure and crimped as little as I can make it go. I am trying to not crack the plastic shot capsule. If I never have a venomous snake volunteer to be a test subject, I guess I will learn to accept it.

I hope you tipped it out of the bucket before you shot it.... well done anyway.
When I was a kid, I shot a chipmunk with my Marlin 1894 levergun....but it was in front of a brand new heavy-duty wheelbarrow....
I tried to convince my mom that the hole could work for draining out water so it would keep dry and rust less, but could be plugged by a cork when we wanted to haul anything fine or liquid....
