Early this morning I looked our and saw a water snake climbing the pole of my bluebird house. He didn't make it.
Water snake caught threatening baby bluebirds
- Thread starter JimD
- Start date
My first several shots were from 25 yards away with him on the metal pole of the bird house. I could not see his head so I just shot him in the body until he dropped off the pole. Several solid hits. Then I walked out there and he was still alive but only moving the front third of his body. One to the head stopped that. If he had dropped into the lake I would have let the turtles take care of him but since he was in the yard I put him in a bag of trash and took him to the collection center. Grandkids are here now, don't need dead snakes in the yard. He was about 5 feet long.

Good deal ! A few weeks ago a red squirrel decided to start investigating our BB box . It wasn't a good career move.

The only good snake is a dead snake.
This one didn’t make it either. .25 Hades from my Veteran standard.

Why all the hate for snakes... They are all out there all out there controlling pests while we aren't.

I never asked for any help controlling pests... I got that covered. I just don't like anything that I can't see or hear coming until it is here.
