If they don't bother me, I won'y bother them. No sese in killing a good rodent eater.greener wrote:Never paid much attention to snakes. Most I've seen would rather be where you aren't if you leave them alone. Used to fish in a pond that had a number of cottonmouths. At one area, if the snake was on a log sunning himself, the fish would bite. If you didn't see the snake, fish somewhere else. Never thought about shooting it.bearandoldman wrote:You know, I would rather face a bear with a big stick than a snake of any kind with any weapon.
Cottonmouths will come to a light. Many years ago my Dad and I were harvesting bull frogs at night. I heard 4 rapid fire shots from his .22 bolt action and a passel of cussing. When I got there he was kicking one as it struck while trying to clear the jam in his rifle. I did shoot that one. We didn't gig frogs, we used .22 hp's. Much easier to take care of snakes.

After removing the detent from the bolt release I took the spring from the mag disconnect, opened up the "U" bend on one end to an "L" bend, cut the other leg down so it does not stick up past the edge of the lower receiver, pushed the front trigger pin in just enough to slide the modified spring between the left side of the lower receiver and the bolt release with the "L" bend over the top of the bolt release and the other leg of the spring up against the frame right near the upper receiver attach lug. Works surprisingly well.
I put a Volq-trigger kit and MK II bushing in my pistol so I didn't need the mag disconnect spring anymore.
