Needed to do some field work with the tractor out back and on the way out I grabbed my one daughters carry handgun(a rossi 357 bobbed) and threw 4 shot loads in it. Nekshot jr was picking up rocks and he started dancing and waving his arms indicating a snake so I cranked the throttle up and headed his way while drawing a fistfull of gun and by golly a copperhead was scurring for cover but the cover was 20 yards away. I had a disc on my tractor. I went to aim and nothing to aim with(no sights) so I left a round fly and noticed a 6 inch pattern in the fresh dirt slightly behind the slithering devil and I must throttle back or I am going to end up in the cover so I left another round fly and quickly double actioned another and we scored! All is well but so much for these buggers staying away from tractor noise!
