Almost stepped on a rattler today

How do you hold a NAA mini22 and get a shot on a rattler or any snake! IIRC it is NOT rated for snake shot.

I can afford snake boots now and wore them the other day when I went squirrel hunting. I remember a time many yrs ago while squirrel hunting, I saw a copper head in front of me. Only had my work Red Wings boots on. My thoughts were, I can dispatch this copper head with the heel of my boot. I stomped the copper head and felt something strike the side of my right boot. I was another copper head. I dispatched that one with my 12 Ga.

feral hogs will eat a rattler in a second...and feral hog population is exploding...and the rattlers are learning....

Yup, you be right. A hog is a snakes worst nightmare. Also Road Runners. I once saw a Roar Runner going down an old country road with a snake in it's beak. I don't know what snake it had as it must have have doing at least 20 mph ahead of me then taking a hard right into the brush.

I once hunted deer on a ranch in Tx. They had a severe hog problem plus I saw at least 4 Road Runners that day while we where out riding around. The owner told me to watch for snakes while hunting. I laughed and said, you don't have any snake problems with the hogs and Road Runners that you have.

I owned a .22 LR/mag convertable NAA
It can be done. Been there, done that

The naa mini 22 will work with shot cartridges. I have killed several rattlers with mine.Works fine long as you hit them on top of head. Does not work as good if he is looking at you and you shoot toward his face.They can be anywhere around here along with other dangerous snakes.
