Wife was buns up and kneeling in the yard doing some weeding and got within about 6" of Mr. Copperhead.
Ruger Mk1 bobbed by Jim Pixley with Sparrow can. Two .22 subsonics and it is now a good snake.  Attached File Attached File |

If it was just me that could've been bitten, I would
not have shot it, but I'm a lifelong snake lover. I can't find fault with anybody killing a venomous snake if they believed their family was in immediate danger. Flying stinging/biting insects deserve executions at first sight. ETA - Have you ever tried snake shot? |

My sweet but, stupid 105lb Irish setter kissed a copperhead in the yard. After that fiasco, that particular flavor of danger noodle gets the extreme prejudice treatment

Good shot. That was not a guaranteed headshot with that setup.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Alembic: Good shot. That was not a guaranteed headshot with that setup. Nope, not a precision rig by any means. 1st shot was in the abdomen when it was coiled. 2nd shot got the head. However, It does carry well in an an old Eagle nylon tanker style shoulder holster. |
