snake elimination

[ke0me]

Daughter called the other day. Told the following story, has to be true since it was from the minister visiting their church last Sunday.

Seems like the minister and wife were camping in their unit (probably a trailer) when they discovered a large snake inside the unit.
They called for help, 3 guys came, one with a hoe one with a knife and one with a shotgun.

Yup, it was the guy with the shotgun that "removed" the snake.

So now they needed to take it in to repair the hole in the unit, and it was quite a show.

The repair shop said they never had to repair a hole from a shotgun blast thru the wall of a camper before.

I would have bludgeoned the snake with the shotgun.

PS - it was a bull snake, non-poisonous.
