I'm such a lucky girl...

[Madine85]

My fiance must love me a lot. After being accosted by a snake yesterday walking around the property were are thinking of buying, I came home to a big wrapped package. Inside? Snake shot for my revolver.

If that's not true love I don't know what is! <3

This is going to be a weird thing for me to say, but "He must be a keeper"

I would like to think that I am, yes.

One shot does not always kill with a snake shot load. So be careful.

Try a round or two at a large piece of cardboard to seen how quickly it opens up when shot out of a handgun. You will be surprised to see how big of a pattern your are really shooting.

So does that mean the house is a "go"?

I love happy endings

I'd say your one lucky couple. After nearly 40 years I still can't seem to get it right no matter what I get her.

We're going to put an offer on it Wednesday. But we're really hoping. Its a great house, nice and big. Plus a new horse barn, 3 other out buildings, 30+ acres, its own spring house. Its pretty much everything we've wanted in a house.

So far. I'll finally be able to have my own range...

The other thing inside the package was a sparkly necklace. I'm still not sure which one was the "better" half of the gift.

Congrats.

So let me get this right . . . . an animal that will run from you unless cornered "accosted" you, on property, you are buying.

Are you going to kill all of these fine creatures of God because you have some irrational fear of snakes?

Let me give a little heads up. Sure hope you like mice and rats!

You see, snakes keep these vermin in check.

Nah... I'm thinking just the snakes. Sounds like God's other fine creatures get a pass. Lol

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Kids these days. GFs son is terrified of snakes. We were at Lowe's and there was a hawk or something screeching. He got this look on his face and said "what is that?" I said "It's a snake, man, watch out." I think I'd do in the rattlers, cottonmouths, whatever, but blacksnakes & garters are cool. Man, I'd love a place like that. Enjoy!

Obviously, I forgot to put the accosted part in purple.

And not all snakes will run from you even in the open. I know well the difference between poisonous and non snakes. The snake shot is for the poisonous. We don't actually anticipate any problems. We figure once the horses take up shop in the field they'll scare off most of the snakes.

 

[paddling_man]

Honestly, same here. On the homestead, poisonous snakes were always dead but king snakes / black snakes got a friendly welcome.

I have been known to squeegee a copperhead out of the Knoxville mountain-top transmitter building rather than kill him. I was always armed up there and the mice had done damage before.

Otherwise, I've had some neighbors freaked out about black snakes and I just transplanted them in a pillow case.

 

[J_Wales]

Accosted by a snake?

Coming home to a big wrapped package?

Too many slow pitches here to make the jokes sporting!

Best wishes to you and yours.

My wife goes all heebeegeebee over any snake. She has a fear one will come up through the septic system and bite her ass!!

I see at least 4 -> 5 each time I mow. I shooed an 8 foot King off our rock road last week, he was sunning.

I caught two Copperheads one day while Bush Hogging. I took them to DNR for display and education purposes.

Absolutely amazing critters!

You mean the sweeper last year on your anniversary wasn't as big a hit as you hoped?
