He was hoping for a buck when he sat down in his metal ground blind last week. But Mother Nature can be a cruel mistress, and before the end of the morning, Ginn had turned his deer rifle on a different kind of critter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ginn told the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amp.usatoday.com\/amp\/2794047001\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-mississippi-deer-hunter-shoots-rattlesnake\" title=\"Mississippi Deer Hunter Shoots Rattlesnake in Ground Blind with .270 WIN Rifle\" target=\"_blank\">Mississippi Clarion Ledger<\/a> that he had arrived at his blind before 6 a.m. with snacks and drinks in tow, ready to camp out for most of the day if necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His blind is small, maybe four square feet \u2013 just enough room\nfor one person sitting on a chair to swivel around. He uses a wooden shipping pallet\nfor a floor, and the walls are constructed of metal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two hours had elapsed when Ginn heard a noise he wasn\u2019t\nexpecting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was 7:45 when I first heard it,&#8221; Ginn said. &#8220;I heard a rattle. It echoed in the blind and sounded like it was in the trees.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hunt365-feral-hog-attack-woman-dead\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-mississippi-deer-hunter-shoots-rattlesnake\" title=\"Mississippi Deer Hunter Shoots Rattlesnake in Ground Blind with .270 WIN Rifle\">Gruesome Feral Hog Attack Leaves Woman Dead in Houston Suburb<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ginn thought at first it was a cicada, but soon abandoned\nthat theory given the time of year. He checked outside the blind and still\ncouldn\u2019t find the source of the rattling. That\u2019s when he began to suspect it\nmight be a rattlesnake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure enough, coiled between the slates of the wooden pallet,\nan angry timber rattlesnake was making his annoyance known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I jumped up in the chair,&#8221; Ginn said. &#8220;He\nwas right next to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My foot was on top of the pallet only a couple of\ninches from the snake. My first thought was to get away. I literally jumped\ninto the chair because there was no way to get away. When I was in that chair,\nI realized I had nowhere to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The snake began striking the legs of the chair as Ginn\nperched above it. His only means of dispatching the snake was his rifle\nchambered in 270 WIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He at first used his scope to aim at the snake\u2019s head, but\nat such close range the shot missed. With his second shot, he placed the barrel\nnear the snake\u2019s head and pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/hunt365-two-pa-hunters-film-beating-deer\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-mississippi-deer-hunter-shoots-rattlesnake\" title=\"Mississippi Deer Hunter Shoots Rattlesnake in Ground Blind with .270 WIN Rifle\">Two PA \u2018Hunters\u2019 Film Themselves Beating A Deer &amp; Suffer The Consequences<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My ears rang most of the day,&#8221; Ginn said. &#8220;I\nshot twice. There&#8217;s no telling what it would have measured on a decibel\nmeter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second shot did the trick. The 4.5-foot rattler stopped\nmoving and Ginn was free to escape unscathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe had every opportunity in the world to bite me,&#8221;\nGinn said of the snake. &#8220;By the grace of God, I wasn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He plans to snake-proof his blind to avoid repeating that\npredicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That ground blind will have a solid wood floor in there,&#8221; Ginn said. &#8220;I&#8217;m putting&nbsp;\u00be-inch plywood in it and sealing it.
