They are also fond of sunning themselves around dock pilings. My mother damn near grabbed onto one years ago when she reached up to grab the piling as we were going into the dock. Dad saw it just in time and told her to pull her hand back......my mother HATED snakes! LOL

I wished now I had got a pic of em all laying in the mud and water in wait. All curled up like the evil vipers they are. But I was too busy shootin’. ( and reloadin’)

I was just rereading Lonesome Dove and the river crossing/snake bite scene last week. Gruesome sounding way to die. 
Please don't feed the trolls!

Watcha gotta do is to get an 1100, add a magazine extension, and load it to the gills with trap loads. Then, go to town on 'em. Trap loads will do the trick, if you're close enough. Keep it topped off, though, in case you run into bunches of 'em.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

We've been on snake hunting parties when the creeks/rivers are up in the spring. Everybody brings an ATV and a 22 pistol. Pick roads that lead to the water, pull up the water's edge, and slowly ride out just a couple feet to make a little commotion. Shut the the quads off, stand up on your pegs/floorboards, and look around. Not a thing to kill ten or so in a couple hours. Some have swam under the quads before.
Now with even more aplomb
