Exactly. As soon as you reach for the tail, wham! Off to the hospital we go.

Lol You just have to be careful. I've had 3 by the tail at one time. Didn't snap their necks though. Just pulled them out of a hole and tossed them because there was a bigger one in there.

My mom grew up in the TX panhandle. She has told the story many times about seeing her grandpa kill a snake that same way. I didnt really believe her. Now I do...

I actively encourage anyone dumb enough to play with venomous snakes to do so frequently.

The gene pool needs a little chlorine..

No fear here, just respect.


Heard of this method all my life but never tried it.

But wastes the meat, skin, and rattles in the process.

Do not care! Dead is dead. I'm not eating, skinning, etc, etc. I MIGHT cut the rattles off. Other than that, the corpse is getting relocated to where nobody can accidently run into it and be hurt, and then I'm gone.

I know, I know, suppose to remove the head and bury it....probably not happening. Just saying.

I'm ready to go whenever.

I prefer the flame thrower method personally.
