Gadge, I like your second tagline.
And here I use T shot (BBB) for hawks.and foxes. I only shot one snake here. Most I have seen are either non-poisonous or were babies that chickens had already killed and were trying to down them. The snake I kill was surrounded by my hens. They had it corralled only but they were thinking about attacking it which would been a mistake on their part as it was poisonous. The .22 took care of it.
