Re: [RC] snakes - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...stick is also a good weapon--either to smack him on the head, or to pin him while you drop a big rock on his head..." In states that allow concealed, or open carry in the woods, a hand gun with the first round a shot shell works great on rattlesnakes. The other rounds work great on two legged snakes, if any are encountered. Ed Disclaimer: I am not trying to start the great debate on the advisability of carrying or using firearms for self protection. If you do not feel comfortable defending yourself with deadly force, don't carry or own. If you do, like the person who shot the escaped convict in our area last week, do it.
