My buddy
My buddy started killing off the big rattlesnakes on his place, worried about his dogs. Damn amazing how big they can get. 6 foot and as big around as your forearm. I still have one of the rattles, 14 buttons.
He had a population explosion, rats and ground squirrels galore. We had fun knocking down that population with .22 rimfire.
He really did not want to kill em all off....till they decided to chew on the wiring of his wife's Range Rover.
It was then open season on the little critters. Cost him close to 2 K to fix the Rover.
