Wifey , kids and dogs in the back year cleaning up around the chicken coop and one of the kids came running in yelling about a snake. Now,, the last snake we had in the back yard was a copper head, bit the crap out of my dog and cost me pert near $1000 in vet bills so Im not taking any chances.. I grab the shot gun loaded with turkey load and start yelling at everyone to get away and to bring the dogs with them. Since they were pointing toward the chicken coop I knew it was near and didn't want it to crawl under there. As I rounded the coop I saw a black ball about a foot and a half wide, aimed at center mass and let loose. Snake bits flew all over and a 6 inch wide by 6 inch deep hole appeared in the hard assed clay soil I have. My first thought was " Cool, look at the hole" Then I noticed a section of the snake about a foot long getting away and heading to the coop so I gave him another. Another hole in the ground and what was surprising was that a 4 inch section that had the head attached was still able to crawl away, right under the coop. Snakes are had to kill unless you get the head shot..
