Howard update: I shot a copperhead snake yesterday that was in a ditch behind the back deck. I used a 38 pistol and only wounded it the first 5 shots, shooting from the deck 20 ft away. It was trying to gimp, wounded, under a rock, so I quickly reloaded ,ran back within 3 feet and unloaded the pistol into it. My wife swooned and I got laid. True story. Happy 4th you douchebags.
