Do you think he had enough gun, I’ve killed bunches with sticks, rocks, killed one last summer with a broom in camp. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/WzzHwJDZ/A4253-F4-C-ECE2-4-E69-BE8-B-0-B6-BC65-C8-A21.jpg) It always got my nerves jacked up to kill one over 3.5 ft long by whipping it with the broadhead on an arrow. I retired from whipping them with the buckle on my belt when they start getting about 5 ft long, too. I had to give up beating them with my belt buckle when my pants started hitting my ankles before I could hit the snake. It's tough to turn and run with you pants buttoned up around your ankles. Fuuuuuck that chit!

Yep. He shoulda run. Stomping it, I'm not so sure about. Throw your hat on him first. Blows his situational awareness all to hell. That's a good idea! But still... Fuuuuuuuuck that chit!

If the rattler was buzzing he was pissed. If his head was a one or two feet from the back of a 4ft square blind and the door was latched the guy would have had to step in front of the door to unlatch it, putting the snakes head about one to two ft from the guys feet. 9 inch high boots. Hummm.

Now I know my 270 BBR is good for something.

Stepped over one on a trail while daydreaming. It dawned on me about 2 steps after i had stepped over the obstacle. A. 36 open top did something. It jumped when i shot and i did not look in the bushes to see how well i did. I figured his wife may have been around.
Had one block a motorcycle trail. Old BSA Victor with a dragging clutch so it wouldn't shift into neutral; I still managed to back up.

A wooden box on a pepsi pallet is considered a deer stand?

This story reminds me of willy G and one leg Pete, in a ground blind with a 270 weatherby. Except there was no snake involved, there was almost a one legged Willy after Pete’s little catnap.  Just think, any closer and they’d able to one-legged sack race to their blind.

Probably wouldn't have bitten him in the first place if he wasn't carrying a .270.

With a scoped rifle trying to hit a snake in the head from a couple feet can be challenging. ‘Specially if he had a 20 MOA rail........ Scope turned all the way down. Aim about 2 inches high. Shot a piglet a few weeks ago at 8 feet just like that. Its all in knowing and thinking. Though I"m almost never without a handgun for the close stuff, just no time to dump the rifle and grab the pistol with the piglet in the armpit high grass I was in. He was there, it was right now or not.

Never had a rattlesnake in a deer stand, but I did have a cottonmouth in a duck blind.
As far as i know the snake is still in the blind and that was 16 years ago.
