Naww, I have my walker dragon loaded with snake shot, if the shot don't get him the 6 foot flames will. As soon as I find a extra barrel I'm going to shorten it to 4 inches and bore out the rifling(legal on black powder).

You must also be a terrific shot to have hit a slithering target that slender.

Well, one less chicken thief in the world, huh?

Not really, although I would like to take credit for being a good shot, I cant. The shells I used were like a shotgun and have small pellets instead of a single "slug". When you shoot it, the pellets spread out.

So it would be harder NOT to hit it if you are within 10 feet.

Just to update:
I haven't seen any more copperheads since this one, although I'm sure there plenty around. I did however find a six and a half foot long king snake in my coop. I almost soiled myself. I know they do good things but he had to go. Sorry.

I just can't help it, he snuck up on me and didn't give me time to see if he was a "good" snake or a "bad" snake. Please don't hate me for it.

Here are a few we get on our property.These where let go since they are so tiny and non poisonous. The green tree snake becoming really rare around here now tho..So it was kinda neat to find one

Garter snake of some sort.. he was relly upset and bit husband a few times. Took it away from cat.Cat was not happy.

Snake vs. thumb..

Here is my dog .. she just caught the elusive slipper snake. Killed it and ripped it apart

Exactly! Last year I killed a timber rattler on my back porch... it was 4 feet 10 inches long. Not the kind of thing you want to find when you step out the back door.

Ok, I have to admit, that green tree snake is pretty. I probably wouldn't kill that, but then, I don't have any chicks or keets for it to eat. Though it looks like it probably couldn't eat anything bigger than a day-old keet. It would probably make me jump out of my skin upon first spotting it still.

That garter snake sure looks mad

And your dog is adorable!

I didn't have to kill this copperhead. The chick mafia took care of it all by themselves. They killed it then ate it.

This entire thread has ABSOLUTELY CREEPED ME OUT !!!!!! Three years ago i walked by my neighbors house and an eight inch garter snake slithered across the sidewalk-to this day I their house a wide berth. Kudos to all of you who live in snake country-as for me I will stay right hear in the city!
