We get a lot of snakes in our backward in the spring and summer, luckily we haven’t seen any venomous ones yet. We live in a suburban

neighborhood so I can’t shoot it and any other option puts me closer to it than I want to be. Should I just get any broadhead or is there some specific

type to use, or that would work the best? Thanks in advance for the help. Brian

When I slip on ice and bust my butt I always consider moving south. Then I consider your type of predicament. North I remain.

The logical choice is the ones designed for turkey hunting. That will get expensive.  That said but a garden hoe and your done.

A judo tip or blunt. It’s a 4 prong out the side of a target tip pretty much or like a big cork on the target tip. Always keep one in my quiver for grouse. Best thing is they flop so you don’t loose a $20 arrow.

It is a beast, but works well.  

Edit.  I just noticed plenty of reloads as well, if you need more, you need to move.

Get a PCP air rifle with a "lead dust collector" on the barrel.  It will be quiet and accurate enough to take a head shot at 10 or more yards and it will open your world to a lot more fun

The hoe is the classic Southern snake defense weapon.

The shorter the handle the braver you are.

Way easier ways to deal with venomous snakes than shooting them with an arrow.  Trust me, I know.  I shot a rattlesnake and all I did was pin it to the ground and piss it off.  I had to shoot it twice just to get my first arrow back.  The snake tried to strike the second arrow as it came at him I guess because it went right through its mouth and out the back of its head, killing it instantly.  

Way easier to use a hoe.  All the non venomous snakes you should just leave alone.
