Its my snake gun and its a good one. I like to get down in the rivers and creeks in the summertime and pop'um as they flush from the bank overhangs, one of the reason why I use 25 rd banana clips back to back. Every once in a while you will flush a nest of them and you better some firepower if you are out in the water with them.

Don't understand, not sure why my buddies never want to go with me but once...

I only hunt water moc, they hide in the overhangs on low creeks and rivers, they will bite a young calf or foal in the head and it will generally die as a result. They can kill a lot in the spring and fall that way.

And Mocs are dangerous and very AGGRESSIVE...ask me how I know, they will attack and come after you. They will also kills ducks and other water fowl on lakes that have a year round population. Every year I had to flush them from our lake which was also were we swam, picnics and fished. The rest, well I just leave them alone unless they are living in the yard on the place, too much activity from people and animals to let them be close to the house and barn.

Ya.... They are mean..... Most snakes just hide or try to run..... The rattle snakes I've been around... Just sit there.... You can't get them to strike unless you poke um or step on one... Which is a bad deal...... They are hard to see... I've put my foot down next to them and just per chance noticed....... Mountain rattlers out west are little but will try to run down also.......

Cops are a very unassertive snake has been my exp. I have laid on them before and watch them just wiggle out and away, I leave them alone and let them go.
