Daughter-in-law just texted me, telling me that a big 'ole rattlesnake came up the yard, and she dispatched it using a shotgun I loaned her last year.
Back last October, she told me that she needed a gun. She lives in the country and the occasional varmint popped up when hubby wasn't around, and she needed a gun to deal with said varmints. So, I commenced looking for a suitable varmint gun and found one at the pawn shop a week later. This one,
a NEF Partner shotgun. Simple, durable, reliable. 20 gauge, a perfect varmint gun. I loaned it to her, for the duration.
She used it today to dispatch a rattlesnake that had the temerity to wander up in the yard where my grandchildren play. One shot with a light load of #8 shot, and that was a deceased rattlesnake. Shame on him for showing up at Kimmie's house.
That shotgun was worth every penny I paid for it today. Well done, Kimmie!
Well played, Kimmie! Well played!
ReplyDeleteThat shotgun is worth ten times what you paid for it!!!
Yep, VERY well done! Hatband time! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThere is much to recommend a single shot shotgun. An operator with a single shot is more business-like about aiming and getting hits than hosers. Only hits count.
ReplyDeleteSingle shot shotguns coined the term "Bang for the buck".
