This is a neat little easy-to-care for little shotgun call the Snake Charmer II. It comes in .410, 3" chamber, and is a single shot with a black molded plastic stock and forend with a stainless steel frame and barrel. The buttstock has a slide open door that allows you to store 4 extra rounds in the buttstock. The barrel is 18-1/4" long, overall length 28-5/8" and weighs a mere 3-1/2 lbs. This is just what you need to do some serious snake hunting or for many other types of hunting.
and old faithful

Ruger 10/22 with a pair of clamped 50 rnd clips
Then last line of defense before hand to fang combat....

S&W .22A
After all of that if I run out of shells.... then lots of rocks and all they see are butthole and elbows as I head the other direction at a speed that would make superman jealous. LOL.

If you can find a procedure to employ that while riding a sport quad across a relatively shallow creek at 15 mph, where 3 other quads had just crossed without a problem, please enlighten me. I've looked time and again, but I haven't found a single manufacturer of a swivel bipod mount for the handlebars of an '89 Warrior.

It's called a Hibernaculum. They gather together to keep warm. On the land that the hunting club I belonged to owned (Does that part of the sentence even make sense?), there is an old live oak that Cane Breaks (Timber Rattlers)huddle into the roots of. It's a sight to be seen when it starts to warm up... a bunch of big FAT Cane Breaks (I do mean BIG and FAT!!!) all piled up on top of each other... WOOHOO!!!
Can you tell I like snakes?

I hate snakes. Always have and always will. I've stepped on my fair share and ran into more than I care to even think about. I was so terrified of them when I was a kid, I used to have the same dream ( nightmare ) over and over......
......I was always stuck in a pit of some sort, standing on an old tree stump. The ground around me in the pit was covered with snakes as far as I could see. I had no way out unless I walked thru them or go straight up, back out of the hole I was in....neither of the two ever happened and I always wound up waking up sweating and my heart beating out of my chest....
My "love" for snakes has not changed, so when I met this guy in my yard this past Sunday, little did he know a shovel would be the last thing he would ever see...

Try this:
I once belonged to a hunting club and on part of the club's land there was an old oak tree. In the roots of that tree is where many Timber Rattlesnakes (a.k.a. Cane Breaks) would huddle when the weather was cold. When the weather would warm, a bunch of big fat Cane Breaks (and I do mean big and fat, think Jackie Gleason with fangs!!!) would slither out, all piled one on top of each other! Lordy it was a sight to behold (and usually resulted in my soiling myself). It's memories like this that cause me to look forward to Snakes On A Plane™, coming to a theater near me in August!

Sounds like a fine way to spend $80 on a new front tire...
Or, more along the lines of my luck, have a richochet from the hidden rock on the bottom come back up and tag my crankcase. Just as the EPA drives by. Now, I'm out $400 for a new crankcase and $20,000 for the fine, cause all my oil is now downstream....
Like I said 3 other quads just went through... Who'da thunk that rat bastid woulda' stuck around? Thought I was safe (and then again, I thought getting mearried was safe.
)Guess I'm just naive...

I've got pictures of the cotton mouth that was on my front doorstep, but my wife's on the PC, and I'm reduced to my laptop currently...
But anyway, I live in a residential neighborhood, within city limits. Of course firing any firearm, even on your own property, is illegal. Well, the cops showed up at my house, saying they had recieved a report of gunfire from my residence. Expecting this, I held up the dead snake (about 3ft) with a garden rake, about 2 ft from the guys face. His color drained, and all he could sayh was "Hell, I'da shot him too. Ya'll have a nice day now." With that he turned around and actually squealed the tires a little on leaving...
Ahhh, it's nice to live in the south where people understand things such as this...

Go to wal-mart and get a box of Sub Sonic .22 shells. They sound like a pellet gun when they go off. No more officers on you door step.
One reason I will never live inside city limits!!!!
I got into a disagreement with an angry Oppossum in my front yard at 2 am. a few months ago. Emptied a 10 rnd clip and no one said anything!
BTW the 10-22 won the argument.

And since you are in Georgia you'll probably understand how if the perp were OTW then Cynthia McKenney would fly out and claim that your act of self defense was a race crime . . .

Yep, that's current society... I will move out of the city eventually, when I get out of the Navy, but it was just too good of a deal to pass at the time.
