Once I shot a cotton mouth in the water.

My little dog had it wadded up in maybe 3-4” of water above the mud. I blasted it with a 8” Colt Python and hot 140 hr. JHP. I actually missed, but it blew the snake 10 ft. straight up into some tree branches. The bewildered and mud smattered dog was looking all around when the snake landed on her. Boy what a yelp! But the writhing serpent was in its death spasms.

It was a little horrifying to watch unfold. I thought I got my dog bitten!
