A single shot is unlikely to kill, and in these areas a snake can very quickly disappear into water or foliage. I doubt drones or night vision would help much for similar reasons - the issue lies as much in being able to reach the snakes as it does in being able to locate them. The Everglades are incredibly thick, a snake will easily outpace and hide from a human outside of roads. It does seem like there should be a better way than wrestling them but it's hard to say what that might be.
- dylan604 2y ago> A single shot is unlikely to kill That's why they make guns that can load more than one bullet at a time. Also, maybe use a higher caliber bullet. Lot's of asinine pro-gun enthusiastic responses available for Florida man to retort with.

- skeeter2020 2y agoGee thanks for explaining that for us all. Now I'd like to see you hit a fist-sized, moving target in the middle of the night, in the rain from the top of a pickup truck.
- chasd00 2y agoShooting a snake in the head is pretty easy. Usually when you find one, it’s still in the water. Then you just follow the body around to the head. I use to do this all the time as a kid in the country hunting water snakes with a .22 rifle and scope.
