Usually, I just use whatever is handy. I've probably killed more snakes with rocks and sticks than anything else. I've never seen used "snake shot", but I have used shotguns a few times. Aim for the head.

i've killed all mine with a shovel or a long heavy stick. you can break their backs real easy with a good whack. i just drive the roads at night lookin for them and when i come acrossone i hop out and give it a smack.

Did it several times. We would gas dens and sale the snakes at the Sweetwater Tx. rattle snake round up

i work in the gas field... nothin more nerve rattling than opening up a meter house off a well and finding a den of 5-6 buzztails balled up in there

I used to catch them and sell them all the time.

what??
