Aboit 30-35 yards away in the Pic, slightly zoomed in, 4.5-5 feet easy, that's probably conservative it looked to be about as thick as my wrists.
I caught 2 far, in a casting net and 1 on a pole.
At that size, you’ve got enough for a belt and/or a hat band! Ive seen some big snakes this summer, they must’ve been eating good the past couple of years. Saw a rattler this week that was as big around as a beer can. Fat fucker.

Yea, as soon as our cans come in I have a feeling they may get used. Who knows.

Have you ever tried the rat shot (or whatever it’s called) for pistols? I know guys that keep that for their “snake shooter” pistols. Like a mini shotgun shell I guess. I’ve never used it. I’ve actually never even shot a snake. I usually just use a shovel or something like that. Or just a big chunk of limestone lol.

My wife grew up on a farm shooting snakes in the head with regular 22lr. If I use snake shot on one I'd never hear the end of it

It is good for shooting rodents indoors in barns and garages...less sketchy ricochet potential than a .22...and the pattern isn't great with snake shot out of a rifled B, better with smoothbore .22(but who the heck has one of those?I used to lol, was ridiculous)

For shooting snakes with shot I just use a 20 or a 410

looks like you guys just did the deed and she is clothing herself

Nice lighting on the epic jetboat...was that stock or did you add that?
Lol nah, we just pulled up to the spot.
Yea came stock, I had lights like that on the outside to draw in bait fish at night, it worked well so I will probably add those.

I showed my wife this, she laughed and said "must be a bad shot".
It is all my parents have on their property in rattlesnake country.
I would give them some other options but I can't transport across the border legally.

So it is an old winchester break barrel 20 usually...not like I could miss with a .22 at the range we dispatch them at.

This is some of my 75 year old mom's handiwork...she broke up a mating party between these two...great lady.

Found this guy dead outside, this recent cold snap was just too much for his little heart to take.
I’m thinking I should’ve put a quarter down for scale.

I pulled this fucker out of a pile of dirt when I was back dragging with the loader. It was froze solid and I as I pulled it out it just kept coming, fuckin’ 6 footer. I think it was a bull snake. I set it on a a manhole and everyone that went by stopped to check it out.

Have fun putting it in your manhole.

I forgot to tell you silly fucks that I made a fishing video last year. I was supposed to make more, but I’m a lazy fuck sometimes. Ok, ok, a lot of the time. Enjoy:

Damn, those things are terrifying. I've heard of people finding them in their boats after leaving shore. No thank you.
Don't be such a pussy!

Jk, I'm actually more worried about water moccasins (Florida for cottonmouths) than I am about gators in certain areas
