Well, Sam, That was interesting but I guarantee if one of those rattleheaded coppermoccasins come into my boat, they are going to get shot or they will own themselves a Pantera III. I have often thought about what Id do if one fell into my boat like it did to Bill Dance, WooHoo. Ive caught most non poisionous snakes but never actually went hunting them. Im afraid if I shoot one in the boat, it will void my warranty! Decisions, Decisions.
