Judge 1 / Rattlesnake 0

[Bailey Guns]

I don't like to kill wildlife just for the sake of killing. But this guy took up residency on the back steps of the house in Mrs BG's flower garden. It's also a favorite place for one of my Terrier's to visit. I can't risk a member of the family being bitten if I can help it.

I bought a Taurus Judge a few months ago because I was told there were rattlesnakes in the area. Today, it came in handy. The snake was right at 3' long and fat. I think it's a North Pacific (aka: western, Pacific, black, etc...) rattlesnake. He may have been resting after a meal. His last meal. One round from the Judge did the trick almost instantly. Just to make sure I went all jihadi on his head with a shovel. I did leave his body in our field for the birds and whatnot to dine on.

Looks like he had eaten recently. Any chance you posthumously examined his menu choice?

Wow I already freak out seeing big garter snakes lol.

Rattlesnake is good.

No...but I thought he had recently eaten as well. I left his body intact for the various other critters that might find him delectable.

Eater going to be eaten. I've heard rattlesnakes are fairly good.

Pair of mouse ears and a disney name tag .

I almost stepped on one the other day at Golden Gun Club, coiled up around a trash can. Then saw it was a bull snake. Startled the hell out of both of us.

Yeah, we have bull snakes here, too. They like to lay right on the dirt roads and they're very hard to see when driving. I don't mind having them around...they keep lots of things in check. Rattlers I don't have much use for even though they eat mice and such, too.
