PJgunner,

I like your hiking handgun for 2 and 4-legged predators. Here in fishing season my biggest concern are the legless critters-aka rattlesnakes. I just got some .41 caliber gas checks to make up a box or two of my "snake loads." I use a dose of Unique, a gas check with the bevel up on top of the powder, a dose of #8 shot and then a gas check bevel down, flush with the case mouth, roll crimped slightly to make a minature brass shotgun shell. I go along the mountain streams with fly rod and 6" .41 Blackhawk.

The Fish & Boat Commission manages rattlers and there IS a $5.00 permit and a 2-per day, month, year LIMIT, I dunno. I just fish and mind my own business and reload my snake loads as needed.

Adam
