Rattle Snakes

[Irving]

I'm not going out to hunt a bunch, just the one that has been hanging out under the compressor they are working on. So, since there is a rattle snake on our property, and I'm going to go kill it, hunting season or not.

I AM interested in a rattle snake hunt when the time comes, but I don't think that there are enough on the property to bother. I'm just going to dispatch this one that we know of.

Here are some buzzworms that I killed last year in Siebert Colorado. There were about 100 or so in a den that I dug up with an excavator. The largest was about 4.5'.. I ambushed about 15 or so just the other day in Goodland kansas.

I never harm a snake except for rattlers. Hunt it down and kill it Stu, landowners are allowed to shoot problem snakes without license or permit needed. Blast away.....

Speaking of blasting away, there is a certain rooster killing coyote who has a date with my 870 tonight. I'm blasting that son of a bitch if I have to stay up all night to do it.....

Used to hunt them. Never used a gun. Fashioned a makeshift snake pole out of an old "sturdy" fishing pole. Used it to beat the bushes while I walked. Like cowboykjohnson said, the ones I killed, I would cut the head off and bury it. I did bring some home alive, and kept them alive for a spell. Finally ended up eating them too. They are pretty tasty. Still have at least one skin, and a few rattles.

Had a good THICK pair of leather leggings back then. Even knowing you have them on, it can get your adrenalin going, if one strikes your leg. I was walking through a clearing where I had been throwing them, after I had cut off and buried their head. Heard one rattle and felt him strike my leg. Got my heart to pumping. With NO head, his accuracy was still there.

Hmmmm.

I was going to wear shorts tomorrow. I don't really have anything to protect myself. Good thing I'm not hunting them. I'll have to be extra careful. I'm hoping we see him out in the open like usual so I won't have to dig him out of anywhere. I've come across a rattle snake before while hiking, didn't even have a stick then though.

Oh good heavens. I thought you were going to offer to show us something else.
