I've burned down an entire bush and almost a whole tree after watching a cottonmouth crawl into it while cutting grass. I got the neighbor to watch the bush while I went get a gun. Came back, neighbor claimed he was still in the bush. Poked and prodded a bit to find him and we never did. Finally we saw him scurry under the mulch. I shot into the mulch but somehow he was still alive and running away to the other side of the tree. Never saw him long enough to shoot after that. He kept scurrying from one side to the other side. He knew he was trapped.

It was time to pour the gasoline and watch the spawn of Satan enjoy fire. Unfortunately the tree burned as well . It was worth it though.

Years ago my dad saw a large mouse (damn near rat-sized) run into the pocket of his coat hanging on his closet door. He grabbed the 9 iron and destroyed the closet door. The rat perished.

I used to make mustard gas with ammonia and bleach and send it through the walls to kill the rats

I killed a roach with an airsoft gun from across the room one time.

I know it's nowhere near the same situation as your op, but I was pretty proud of my aim.

When I was a kid, Me and the neighbor's kid found a chicken snake in the yard. Only being 5/6 we ran into his dad's garage and grabbed the first weapons we could find........his dad's brand new titleist irons. We got the snake surrounded on the concrete driveway. Destroyed both the clubs and got an arse whooping I am still talking about 20+ years later.

I once caught a rat in a glue trap around Thanksgiving, so I used a large pumpkin by the door to crush it and put it out of its misery.

So, a pumpkin.

The closest I can come is shooting a copperhead with buckshot. I was young and didn’t wanna try close combat.

It was just for fun, and personal educational purpose. For years I had a banded Egyptian cobra and a west African gaboon viper that I picked up from a late 2000s reptile show in Gonzales.

When I was a kid, a neighbor brought me fishing on his boat. We went to the Basin. A cottonmouth got in the boat.
He pulled out his pistol and put 6 holes in the boat.
Sank it.
We were close to bank, so we hopped out.
It was close to dark, but thankfully some other fishermen came over to investigate the gunshots and brought us back to the launch.

They laughed their arse off the whole way.

A tennis ball went under the couch at a lake house we were staying at with some family friends.

My friend couldn't find the ball after sticking her arm underneath it so the adults decided to pick up the couch. Sho' nuff, a copperhead was chilling underneath the couch (thankfully she wasn't bitten) and her dad had a sidearm .22 and shot at it 6 times

Killed it.......and the floor.

I caught 6 field mice that were hanging around the yard, put them in a box and fed them acid and natural light for about week..

30 years ago or so, I had a friend who was living out at his family's camp( really nice camp) on Lake Catherine and a tropical storm had pushed water onto the road and into the storage shed. Any way while were cleaning out the shed with hoes and shovels we encountered a whole mess of moccasins in there, The hoes came in handy and we "eliminated" about 9 of them. The next year, my buddy who was also a fraternity brother while at LSU enjoyed his killing spree so much that he spent the better part of a week hunting down snakes in the Lakes.....he killed many snakes that week, then skinned them and sold their skins for a nice payday.
