I would not be near enough to them to use a knife until the shotgun had been used....
Why not?

I was just following your advice...
If you do see a snake, keep a body length away from him. (His body length, not yours) Most say ½ to ¾ it’s body length is a safe distance, but a full body length better ensures your safety.
I don't have a knife that long... yet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
