Shotgun Rack

Mom and Dad always gave me one piece of good advise about identifying snakes "if it bites you and you get sick, or die, you won't care what kind of snake it was, so steer clear of them and be aware of them." Good advise, I thought.

Weapon of choice: school made 12" long barrelled 45 cal "Buntline Special" double action pistol using #9 birdshot custom loads. Caution: sawed-off shotguns are illegal. I'm a believer in shotguns for close-up defense, getts ridd of buck-fever problems..... ....Dell

PS. I think a sidearm would be a better way to go to kill snakes off a tractor.

As to the initial question, tractor is scary enough without adding guns to the equation, but if'n I were to mount one, (since a cheep shotgun was weapon of choice) I'd try to mount it on the fender somewhere maybe utilizing the rear light bracket, straight down so it's protected and not pointing at me when working behind or in front on the machine. I'd also put some serious kind of rubber jaw clamp or scabbard so it can't fall out!

"A landowner, family member or employee of the landowner may use a firearm or bow to shoot deer from a farm tractor or implement of husbandry, such as a combine or hay wagon, ONLY on the landowner’s property and ONLY in the DEZ. Farm trucks and ATVs may qualify as a farming implement if they are used ONLY for agricultural operations.

I strongly recommend that anyone who can legally possess a firearm on a tractor or farm implement keep the weapon unloaded while the machinery is moving and not load or fire it until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.... "
