The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
.44 Mag loaded with snake shot, Old NFO. Worked just fine on two big old timber rattlers about five miles northwest of the base of Mt. Shasta in Far Northern Californica, back in 1995 (one had ten buttons, the other eleven). They like to den up in the lava fields (and lava tubes) formed back when Mt. Shasta did, and come out at night for the kangaroo rats.
Those two were out during the day sunning themselves. Unfortunately for them, it was a little too close to where my missus was doing some gardening. I couldn't let them live, not with her at risk like that.
That's actually mild compared to the typical bar-hopping/nightclubbing boots in some Mexican areas. Think Arabian Nights curled toe slippers mated to western boots, on steroids. Can't ride or drive in them, just walk, it seems.

What caliber for boots? .45 or .44???
Hey Peter;
More like the Barrio....
Yup, the Barrio, cause no self-respecting cowboy I know, would be caught dead in something like that.
Amen to that Judy.
Why, oh why, does this force me to think of that snake charmer tune?

I see some metsicans wearing boots a lot like these. No snakeheads though. But totally possible IMO.
Reg- LOL, as long as it starts with a .4, I'm good with it!
Clearly the wearer would need a hubcap-sized belt buckle to match the shooz...
