Rattlesnake Stuck in Chicken Fence
Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 4:49 pm
Okay guys, the subject line says it all. There's a rattlesnake wrist-thick around stuck in some chicken wire down in the Back 40. Don't ask me what kind I don't care. Chickens aren't in danger, and it can't hit anything because its facing in from the path that goes right past it, but get within fifty feet and it starts rattling and doesn't stop until you get to the top of the hill. I can shoot it, but considering the rat-rabbit-mouse-squirrel-raccoon hordes marauding across my garden, I consider this guy a comrade-in-arms, especially since I think his body is stuck where something he just ate is digesting.
When the wife gets home, she's going to say shoot it unless I have a better plan, and all I've got right now is an air rifle, so it won't be a quick and painful death.
All help greatly appreciated.
