Sometimes it will work if you put a magnet on the screen.

Ha! No, That one is a copperhead. I killed 4 or 5 copperheads this year alone, maybe 2 or 3 last year. 3 rattlers in the last year. The one I ate a few months ago was a Timber (Canebrake) Rattler.

Here is another Timber Rattler that met my Michelin and Michelin won. It was big enough when i ran it over I felt it like a speedbump!

You can see how the markings are different on the copperhead vs the rattler

Its a toss up who is better at snake killing... Michelin or .410!

Here is another Timber Rattler from a few years ago. Mrs S Shot it twice in the face with a .38 sp with CCI snake shot and it just fazed the sumbitch. I walked about a half mile back to the house, got my .410, drove back to the snake on the 4 wheeler and it was still there in the same place. So I shot it in the head and since it was coiled the .410 took out a part of its belly.

It was around 4' long minus part of the head that I cut off before measuring it.
