She garnered fame for an incident in which she killed 140 rattlesnakes.

Um

an incident

Excuse me?

On October 28, 1925, Slaughterback singlehandedly killed 140 rattlesnakes. Slaughterback and her son Ernie were on horseback headed to a lake near her farm. Hunters had been there the day before, and she was hoping to find harvested ducks left behind. However, she instead found over 100 migrating rattlesnakes. She shot the snakes until she ran out of ammunition for her .22 caliber Remington rifle, at which point she grabbed a nearby sign (allegedly, it said “No Hunting”) and bludgeoned the remaining snakes to death.

Of her ordeal, Slaughterback later said:

I fought them with a club not more than 3 feet long, whirling constantly for over two hours before I could kill my way out of them and get back to my faithful horse and Ernie, who were staring at me during my terrible battle not more than 60 feet away.

Shooting and then bludgeoning 140 snakes for hours while your kid and horse just stare at you like

is metal as fuck. Almost as metal as making a dress out of 53 of them, which she also did.

If she and Staff Sgt. Max Fightmaster had a kid, the universe would explode out of fear
