[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2251809, member: 17722"] A war story. In 1981I was invited to hunt on a section down by TexMex border. It was one of those rare cold days that far south. O dark 30 I was on the field, on the ground with my back against the cross fence. It was so still and nice and cold. After sunrise with no activity I could not resist a good nap on the ground using my small pack for a pillow. At around 0930 the landowner drove up and woke me up to let me know brunch is at 1030. Just before he drove off, he gave me a piece of advice. "I would not take a nap on the ground in this cold weather, you may wake with a rattler beside you trying to warm up" No more than half an hour later as I was still on the ground, back against the cross fence, about 4 feet from me a huge rattler crossed the fence into the road. I had my 1911 on a chest holster, mag stuffed with Hydra Shocks. I emptied all 8 rounds on that critter[B]. I am no John Wayne, no head shot with 1st round. I did shoot the head once it tried to coil up and somewhat immobile.[/B] [/QUOTE]
