Can a 410 shoutgun kill a snake?

This depends on what deer you are hunting. If you are hunting for your first deer then yes, it can kill any small or medium sized deer such as a 4 point on down within less than 50 yards, maybe less than that. You do not have alot of range, but it can kill a smaller sized deer. If you want to kill a trophy buck, you are going to need a 12 gauge.
