Sir, I've heard or read somewhere that some snakes are fast enough to strike at a bullet fired close to their head. Anyone know if that's true?

Thanks, and Semper Fi.

Ron I very seriously doubt it, the snake would have to be able to see the bullet to strike at it and snakes have pretty bad eyesight.

Kapp - Good Job!!!

In 1982, I was stationed at Ft Gordon, GA (Augusta)and was a member of the Special Reaction Team (SRT). The on-post golf course had a pond and water moccasins took over that side of the course. On a day the course was closed, we took the SRT out with shotguns and skeet loads. I don't recall the exact number of snakes we killed, but it was high, and I wish we had thought to take pictures of the ones on the course. We also shot several in the water. I truly hate snakes and I recall that day vividly anytime someone mentions snakes or golf!!!

Ron H,

I believe it. This one bit the bullet for sure!

Here's his uncle, cousin, granny that I ran across less than 30 feet from the spot I found this one. And to thin I used to tromp all over these woods when I was a kid!

You must have missed some of them as they are still around the pond and sometimes on the greens.

Wow - was at my range today with buddies and we usually tromp the brush near the shotgun range in order to pick up clay targets, or large chunks of targets to place on the pistol range berm. Saw TWO large black rat snakes. Left'em alone - good rodent control.
