Umm, yeah.
Set it back down, go get 10 gallons of gasoline, dump it all around the shed while staying on the tractor and leave a nice trail of it away.
Get your 12 gauge and load it with bird shot
Then snag a long pole with a rag tied on the end.
Light the rag on fire and stick it in the trail of gas.
Fuck that shed and anything in it.
Fuck those snakes too.
Shoot any that try to escape.
I see lots and lots of hat bands
If there wasn’t a healthy rodent population around, there wouldn’t be so many snakes. Decimate the rodents and the snakes will move on.
Snakes appear in response to food supply. Get rid of the food and the snakes leave. But getting rid of that many snakes would be a challenge no matter what method you try.
Ah, no… See, there is a civilian use for a howitzer or rocket launcher or flamethrower.
They all require a much too close proximity.
I’d have FedEx drop off a suitcase nuke while I was exploring Antartica.
Pump some antifreeze into those snakes and ship them off to Alaska, with directions to Deathray’s cabin.
And people keep asking why I need 30 round magazines.
Were they overwintering under the shed?
I sure hope that’s Texas or New Mexico or somewhere FAR away from me in east Tennessee. We have snakes around our property but they’re the benign type that keep rodents down. I haven’t seen a venomous snake around here in years.
And it’s illegal in TN to harm snakes. Somebody must have called the legislature a den of snakes about the time they passed that one.
Round them up while they are still cold, 1 per pillowcase, send them to a local university, or other location that has a herpetology section, either to be milked for venom, or put on the faculty. If they milk them for venom it is used to make anti venom, which saves lives. Also clear out the food source, they will not hang out there anymore.
Caveat: DO NOT send them to as school that has a law degree program!!
Just sayin’
I don’t see why not. They would not come to any harm. Professional courtesy and all that, y’know …
Snakes, why does it always have to be snakes.
Holy hell, why would you do that to us?
back in the 1980’s. was stationed at FT. Leavenworth. fun place. anyway, there was a dry well behind the house. say 75 yards of so. that we didn’t know about. anyway, it was full of copperheads
started shooting at first, then found the lawn mover was easier and better way to get rid of them. then we found the nest in the old dry well. 10 gallons of gas, 5 of diesel and a road flare. burned for 3-4 hours and counted over 50 snakes trying to get away. had a fire truck standing by just in case but it wasn’t needed.
as we cleared away any grass and anything that might burn around that damn well. I hate damn snakes. god only knows how many where in that old well.
it had been filled in with rocks and the like years ago. had no idea how deep it was either. a local friend helped me with that mess. he knew just what to do as he told me later his dad had the same problem on his farm years ago.
any that made it out, got hit with a long handle shovel until it stopped moving and was tossed back in the fire.
Could be Manitoba…….

Nuke it from orbit…it’s the only way to be sure.
I live at over 6,000 feet for a reason.
Maybe we should move Congress to a higher elevation.
Some people see that as dinner and belts
