Those kids are braver than me. I decided to let the moc have my boat rather than argue with him.
Well, my uncle and his family are in Ashville. So are the musical venues where I'll have a chance to see his wife and her musical partners play.I don't want to offend anyone but Asheville is one of the most liberal Cities on the East Coast. Don't believe me just go down town and spend some time. Get away from there in some of the outlying counties and you have a paradise.
Okay, my suggestion is a revolver chambered in .38 or .357 mag.
Yes, snake shot patterns expand very quickly, making it easier to hit a snake head from a distance than a .22lr round. The longest shot with my Ruger SP-101 I ever took on a snake was about 12 ft. Pattern was probably about 2 ft. Maybe more.
Snakes are pretty tough, but also pretty fragile in the head. Lots of small light bones in there. If even one piece of shot hits the average snake in the head, it's usually curtains for the snake.
I don't have any expensive rods, but I'll remember that . Narrow side of the kayak paddle, I'll definitely keep that in mind.I also found out that it's not a good idea to hit a snake with a fishing rod. You'll likely break the rod, and annoy the snake. The more expensive the rod the more likely you'll break it. Use a boat paddle if you gotta hit one. Narrow side. Flat side just annoys the snake.
The northernmost reach of their range is supposed to be the NC side of The Great Dismal Swamp. Though, there is nothing magical about the border so I don't see why they wouldn't be on the VA side as well (and nearby waters) and there have been a handful of reports of sightings. They are definitely found in some regions of NC.I've never heard of an Alligator in Virginia
