And talking about killing snakes, my old hunting partner, who no longer can physically hunt, several years ago showed me how he hunts them with a 5 gal bucket and a machete. I took a video I was so in awe. He'd hold the bucket towards them, getting close enough for them to strike at it, then whack them with the machete and cut their head off. The head got buried and the body went in the bucket so he wasn't seeing the dead ones everywhere while looking for more live ones. They were pretty thick in a p-dog town we both shot at. I avoided the snakes, he hunted them down and pretty much wiped them out for a few years there. They're probably back in force now.
