Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Who here uses "too much rifle"

I killed a rattlesnake with two rounds of 00 buckshot back in July. Was prospecting a gold mine and the sucker slithered out from under a box, got aggressive, and tried to block our way out. That land is heavily grazed as well, and my rancher friends have a kill-on-sight policy for venomous snakes. Personally, I ignore them if they ignore me. One of my buddies brained it with a rock, which briefly stunned it. It then revived and was even angrier than before! I'm sure one shell would have done the trick, but I wanted to be sure.

The head completely separated from the body, and the snake's midsection is out of frame about four feet to the left. There's no such thing as too much gun when something is considering striking!
