Anyone have experience with these things? I have quite a few buzz worms to deal with and am curious if these are a viable option or if I just need to keep an old shotgun handy or buy something like a judge. I wasted 6 rounds from my carry pistol today trying to hit a snake. I have an old 357 pistol I could load up with these and keep in the truck if they will do the deed. Git ya some of the Speer Capsules: ( https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010935619?pid=313962 ) I cut open a few 12Ga #9 shot cartridges to get plenty of lead to load - does great on rattlebugs & rats with 38spl/357 revolver.

These sorts of threads have an interesting outcome when someone posts a dead timber rattler they killed.
To be determined

Click me, then click Attached Graphic -> Texas Threatened Species - last amended two years agoThis came up a year or two ago and information was all over the place, so I contacted a local Game Warden and asked him. He said yes, the Timber Rattlesnake was removed from the "Threatened List" in Texas and is no longer protected, but TP&W hasn't updated their website yet. Not sure what's taking them so long.

I sincerely hope this is a moot point for me. If I'm ever in east Texas...again, I've messed up massively.

Good info. Thanks! Hopefully, the statute of limitations has run out on you. Lol
