Out in Calif.
We had morning fog and a slowly warming afternoon. Finally they flew for the last hour and we got some excitement. Rattlesnakes are always on the ranch, but this one was right next to us and had to be dispatched. Didn't have any extra shells.
Forgot to bring the parker, so the old Beretta 28 ga. did the trick. One of my workers bought a nice old 870 for a hundred bucks. After he got used to shucking the shells, he was not missing. After I killed the snake, we didn't spend too much time retrieving birds from the tall stuff. Got limits...found 16. The snake was delicious. |

Looks like good times were had by all, except the rattler. |

Wow. That's quite an impressive rattler. And to think that my wife thought that the small brown bat I found in the house this morning was the scariest thing imaginable.

My wife put the video on You Tube and was concerned about the legality of killing a rattler in Calif. Wondered if I'll get in trouble.
The video is titled: 'Malibu Brian Rattler' and I used a beach slipper as my only weapon. I have a witness attesting to the snake attacking me first. Hopefully a jury will find in my favor, as I showed considerable restraint choosing a shoe instead of a gun. |
