Assigned to the Charleston South Carolina Naval Base in August back in the 80's and the guys who were stationed there were talking about opening days of their deer season.

Deer? Now? In August?
Yep, a deer a day all the way until December.
I'd ask what they used and they all said shotguns, usually a Ithaca Model 37.
Why a shotgun?
The snakes man, all of the snakes.
