    You have. A high percentage of people that get bit are usually messing with them. But did you know your 9 times more likely to get hit by lightning than killed by a snake? I've read those statistics a bunch of times. If I might be killed by one someday I might as well read up on it.LOL

          This is my first option.

          You said he is on your porch. I don't want to shoot my porch, so I would remove it with snake tongs and then chop it with a machete.

            this is plenty but make sure your shooting at an angle away from the house!
            9mm snake shot would be my 2nd choice if I was going to use a gun.....

            410 is way to much on a porch!!!!!!!!

            we used to just use a long limber branch about 1-2" in diameter and beat them,,, killed hundreds of snakes that way when I was a kid, a lot more fun too!

              Most of the time, I just walk around. If they are in a bad place and need to be killed, like where kids are around, whatever stick like thing that's handy.

                  When I looked later I couldn't see a mark on the concrete

                          I hunted the snakiest place in Texas. Saw all the bad ones and would not spend a night on the property to save my life.
                          Carried a machete the 4 years we had the place....

                            I used to do that with water moccasins all the time. People thought I was a bit nuts. But where I grew up, we found moccasins all the time, usually when you did not have anything to kill them with. For a while there many of them got away, because I was running around trying to find something to kill them with. Then I came up the idea of just stomping their heads into the ground. It worked. I think it worked, because they never expected it. I would not try it with a coiled rattler, but with copper head or a moccasin, that just lays there with the mouth open wide hissing, it worked pretty good.

                              Pretty much what I do, I've had enough visits from the authorities over firearms being discharged in the city limits. Trust me they have no sense of humor about defending the public from skunks and snakes either.

                                I typically dispatch them with a shovel, snake shot, or a ditch bank blade.
