My not so nice surprise this evening.

[Bob Wright]

Thanks. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight.

I needed Jack and coke after this one. I was in the strike zone but I think he was cold enough he chose to just buzz me away.

It's time for a Rattlesnake Roundup. Here in Florida they did it every year and thinned them out real quick. I don't think they do that no more. Hardly ever see a rattlesnake in Florida , now!!! They would fry them up and have a big cookout. It was great.

And Python, iguana , mocassin.
I just fished in the everglades on vacation with a 4 gator escort. Wow!

A little seasoning salt, garlic powder and fresh ground pepper. Or your favorite BBQ sauce.

Lead pellets sprinkled liberally from head to tail. Don't skimp!

A lot of tree huggers are all "relocate them"

F that.

Here is my 4 step rattlesnake handling process:

1. SHOOT IT !

2. CHOP IT INTO PIECES !

3. BURN THE PIECES !

4. BURY THE ASHES !

Are you growing rattlesnakes? Because that sounds a lot like farming.

In NE PA there was a famous Rattle Snake Roundup held every year. I remember seeing BillBoards on the side of the road when I went Chuck Hunting.
i think that the environmentalist got involved and tried shutting it down.

I like to cut mine into 4 inch sections or so bread or batter and deep fry it the meat will pull right off the bones.

The Morris one, maybe? I never have been, but I heard the other day it's dwindled down pretty much

 

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

It is in NOXEN, PA

I`ll leave them be in the woods. In the neighborhood, with kids around, just can`t chance it. From March until December in the Georgia woods, not wearing snake boots is silly to me.

Grew up among them (diamondbacks) knew several men that were bitten I helped the snake wranglers locate their dens on our ranches when I was in high school (I knew where the high density areas were). As I got older and learned what the good snakes were I learned to leave them (rat, racer, bull and king snakes) alone and they have managed to thin the rattle snake population quite a bit. Feral hogs are wrecking all the snake populations though now.
