I guess if I had to shoot one, a shotgun. I hate killing 'em because they're effective on rodents but sometimes you just have to. Looks like some nasty ones in that part of the world: http://www.curator.org/legacyvmnh/Whatsnew/venomous_snakes_of_iraq.htm

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.
There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living |

No joke intended. I prefer my crossman air rifle. One pop in the noggin and its skinnin time. If its one worthy of skinnin ofcourse. I don't bother black or king snakes unless they are aggressive or in the wrong place.
Sorry about your bird dog. Thats unusual, dogs can often survive a bite. I hate that happened to you. Edited by Sgt. D - October/22/2009 at 09:30 |

Shot gun (if available) for rattlers. Gopher, garter, and king snakes I leave alone.

I've had way too many close calls with snakes. I had one drop through a hole in the ceiling of the shower while I was taking a shower. I consider myself lucky to have not been bitten as Ive had dozens of very close encounters and killed thousands of them in Texas. I rarely see them in Iowa.
