I have always heard that a rattler or moccasin can strike so quickly that it will essentially kill itself by striking the bullet of a .22 fired in the direction of its head. I have always found a shovel to be most expedient and have therefore never tried it, but I wonder if anyone on here has tried it, or perhaps heard the same thing from some old-timers.
Seems like rat shot would make for a very confused snake trying to strike all those pellets at once.
