I carry this during the beginning of season(when it is hot). with 22mag rat shot it works great at under 12 ft. and you do not have to be 100% accurate. always use scope rifle not very accurate at 10 ft.

We hunters are supposed to be conservationists...and that is one of the things that prevents us from having our rights stripped away. The money that we spend goes to help conserve what is left...without that the anti-s would have their way. The direction that outdoorsman have taken in the last 10-20 years is going to be what leads to the downfall of all our favorite activities. We no longer value the outdoors for what it is, only view it as ours for the taking. The anti's see that. It's pretty easy to see though, when all you read about is people shooting hogs in the gut to let them die slow or letting them lie to rot, or killing every snake they get anywhere near. Hell, walk through any public hunting area. You'll see 100x as many beer cans and other trash than animals. We're digging our own grave.

I agree also, I have never had the need to kill a snake in the woods yet.
This is the only one that even came at me, and she had a good reason to. She's pregnant and protecting her territory.
I don't always have the camera, and it's a poor pic because I decided to get out of her space quickly.
