I have to kill a rattle snake or two on my porch every year. I used a hoe and my father in-law tonight haha. I had my 12 gauge and 20 gauge but I don't like to use them on the porch. What would be the best guys or weapon. What do u guys use? Thanks in advance

Step on their head and cut it off....I've pulled their head off before but you gotta be careful. If you try that on dirt they can slip out from under your foot. Got scratched one time doing that.
A shovel or anything you can hit them with works though. Rope with a knot in it,chain,piece of pipe,2x4,ect.
If you ever use a chain don't get too crazy with it. You can drag them back to you.Last edited by okrattler; 08-15-2018, 09:54 PM.

I stomped this copperhead a few weeks back. He thought it’d be cool to hang out in the shop with me. I was wearing Work boots.

Nonvenomous snakes just get relocated outside the shop. I catch a few rat snakes every year

Friends wife got bit by a copperhead getting out of the car the other day. Opened the door to her car and her first step out she got hit. Put her down for about 4 days.
When I was about 12 my friend swung at a Rattler with a Machete . I blinked as he swung at it. The snake avoided the chop and turned 180 and was on the way out of there in that blink. They are faster they lead on. Killed a bunch since then...
I have always used the shotgun. The further the better.
