On a shot gun. 2 snakes in 2 days is already too much for me, and especially my wife.
Disclaimer: I am not a hunter, so I know jack about shotguns. I want something reliable and easy to maintain. Pump would be fine with me. I don't need something like a Desert Eagle 50 cal (those were the chit back in the day right?) Maybe a 20 gauge?
Thanks.
I gotta dang ole shotgun you can use mayne.
You need a mini gun like the one Schwarzenegger uses in Predator
20 guage with some bird shot does the job trust me I know. I'de let u get mine but I live in florida.
Be a man and use your hand.
Go get a base model youth 870 in 20ga and pick up a box of #8's or 9's and you'll be set for life.
well not for life, just until you run out of bullets lol..Quote:

Go to Academy. They have a saw'd off, Mossberg 12 gauge, pump action, black, holds lots of double 00 buck shots....Can be used for any intruders or the occasional peeping Tom also:spit:. Comes with a pistol grip also....This is what I can't wwwaaait to use when some intruder tries to come into my house....If I run out of shells, I'll have a 45 for back up.....That is if they get by Sora, the angry female heeler....David and Ricky have meet her :)
Go Get One Now, You'll Love It

Mossberg is a fine inexpensive shotgun. I have sold hundreds of them and owned several. Hell I own one now. Remington 870 base models are better with the exception of how much faster they rust. Want one on the cheap. Go to your nearest pawn shop and buy a New england firearms 20ga for less than 100.00 and some of the shells mentioned above and you will be good. A snake only takes one shot with a 20 gauge. When I lived in south Alabama I kept a Mossberg 500 in the truck for snakes. Never had a prob with it.
come on guys try a blow gun or 22 that more than enough not really i use whatever is closes to me they always catch me off gaurd last time i used my truck pulling out of the driveway
im pretty sure if u shot a snake, no one would get mad even the cops. i know the cops around here would pull out their own pistols and shoot them without blinking an eye...
I am not in the city limits, so that is no problem.
Thanks for the help guys.
Get a Remington Express 12 gauge pump. They are very reliable and not expensive. You can pic one up from academy for low $200s. Thats what I have and have not had a problem with it.
I have Benelli's and love all 3 of them.

I didn't even think about the New England Arms shottys but they are a great deal for what you want to do, just be forewarned they kick like a mother!Quote:
