I hate snakes so I normally carry mine just seeing if I am the only that wants more than three shots if you come across a snake

12 ga shells are cheaper than handgun shells for the snakes.

I've never needed more than one shot from the scatter gun on any snake.

However, I usually empty both barrels, then reload a few more times and empty those just for good measure. Then I pound it with a large stick and then set the remains on fire. If time allows, I'll come back with a back hoe, run over it a dozen times or so, and then bury it 6' deep and push large boulders on top of it.

I hate snakes.

i carry my glock just in case a stupid pig or something comes up to the tank while i'm waiting for the evening flocks to start.

I carry a sidearm but it is not for snakes.

It's easier to hit a rattlesnake with a shotgun than a pistol.

Non-venomous snakes are given a verbal warning.

No need. The shotty can handle anything.

I'd lmao if I saw some goober in the field wearing a pistol.

some people even wear them to Wal Mart

Starting in November we can wear them in plain site here in Oklahoma.

I put a few rounds of buck shot in my pant pocket for hogs or coyotes. Last season I heard hogs a ways off and had the wind in my face. Loaded up buckshot and before I knew it I was in a heard of 20 or so and unloaded on 3 hogs. For snakes though the shotgun is the best option.

don't get caught by Johnny Law with that buckshot while dove hunting

you should get a full old west double gunfighter rig

Beer

Why not??

Is it illegal to use buckshot on dove?

X2

I carry a few rounds of bucksot while dove hunting as well. Some of the TPWD public dove lands expressly allow for taking of feral hogs with bucksot while dove hunting.

nevermind

I was thinking about duckhunting

Is this thread for real?

Why? Specifically? I lmao at a lot of goobers in the field in general.

if you are hunting a peanut field there will be a bunch of goobers

Nope, 12 ga. can handle anything I come across.

Why would anybody put down their shotgun and pull out a stinkin pistol to shoot a snake

Some folks just look too deep into things.

If you need more than one three shots with a scattergun on a snake then you have got serious problems..

wow.. no... i dont want to carry the extra weight. my shotgun will be more than enough for anything i come accross

I carry simply because i carry everywhere else. My side arms are like my wallet, keys, cell phone and pocket knife. Never leave home without them.
