My 1st Rattlesnake

[Shadslinger]

Came across this timber rattler this evening in the road. He wont much happy bout seeing me. Took him out with a baseball bat. He was laying right in front of a house. Be careful out there. gonna fix the hide up and hang it in the living room with all my antlers. I broke the rattles by accident gonna try and fix em the best i can. Had 15 rattles and almost 4' long. Gonna cook it up on the grill and eat it tomorrow.

I have only come across a couple rattlers. The fist was walking to my deer stand in the pitch black dark. I still wet my pants thinking about it. Then one with a group of boy scouts running around screaming like teen age girls.

OH - from the picture it looks like you have 2 left feet. Ha HA!!!!!

Hunter, I'm with you up to the part of bringing it in the house, I don't even want to have the skin in the house. Snakes are one thing I have absolutely no use for.

I wondered what those two pictures you sent me were. Phone wouldn't down load it.

I know of one that got killed Sunday that had 19 rattlers and a button. It got took out with a Judge pistol. Body size was no bigger than the one posted. It was 50 inches, without the head. Dry times, and a lot of timber cutting will chase them out of their normal areas in search of safety and water

Hmmm...that could be invaluable information.
