Damn, hope the dog is ok.

Sounds like a great challenge to hunt for the "King" To think after all these years he has been hiding on your land. count me in!

Let's do it. 12 gauge with bird shot?

Sent from my teepee using smoke signals.

Sounds like he wants to catch the King. :screwy:

Sent from my electronic ball and chain.

I'm game if you need an extra hand!

edit to add: I hope the dog is good. I couldn't imagine my pup going through that.

NO! Way over kill if you want to preserve anything. We shot rattlesnakes last month with 9mm shot shell and it still tore up the snakes. Even when we just shot the head.

we have killed many ratttlesnakes already this year. Way too many. The Pawnee Grasslands are full, full, full of them. Go early or preferably late. We are seeing them between 6-7pm and dark.

We found 3 on 320 acres. We spent most of the time searching a 1 acre area with structures and stuff to lift up. Each one was in the easiest place possible, despite us spending hours lifting stuff up and putting it back down. Any tips for finding them out in the open fields? Besides the one tip you just gave of course.

Well hopefully he can get back to us Sao we can help him out with his problem. It's been years since my brother and I spent summer days hunting them down.

Long range.... I don't wanna be any closer to the damn things than need be....

I had one by the tail before we shot it when we went hunting.
