I managed to avoid one all of turkey season, but this one showed up in the yard this afternoon. I had just finished changing the oil in my mower and just happened to glance up across the front yard. My shotgun and vest were still in my truck, so I grabbed my 870 and a shell out of my vest. My son was playing not far from me and I was trying to get him outside so the shot wouldn't scare him too bad. By the time I got to the snake, he had almost made it to the flower bed where he would have disappeared in that jungle. I will give a snake a pass if he isn't bothering me, especially if a turkey is gobbling in the area, but this one got too close to my son's stomping grounds. I put the FF3 red dot on his head and took it off. He had ten rattlers and was about five foot long.
