Rattlesnake hunters
 

Do we have any snake hunters in the group?Just wonderring if you did any good this spring?I need some new dens to work.

I don't hunt them but I do get em when I see em. Witch is a lot in the oil field.

I bet you do...Skin them things for me and throw them in the freezer :-X10.....I know,that is alot to ask.

Rattlesnake Hunters? Really? I don't hunt them either, they usually find me first!

When they find me they find a 45 or a shovel, whichever is at arms length.

Not trying to sound too macho but I did kill one with a field knife once.....sure luck but story is cool

Thats cool. I wouldnt... lol

Fresh Kill
 

I have never been on a rattle round up but would not mined doing that. I did have a daunting pleasure of killing a 46" Cotton Mouth on my front porch last night.

Wife was pissed that I was doing it barefooted.

Our 24/7 burgular alarm went off ( 6 pound pomeranian ) like there was no tomorrow.

Dang thing was sliding up the glass door.

Tools used Frog gigger, hoe, .22 air rifle.

Frog gigged it first. To hold it in place. Stabbed it with one prong through the middle.
You know it did not like that too much so the venom slanging was going on and the stink was in the air. Strong pungent musk.

Popped it once with the air rifle and the took it away from the koi pond and used the hoe for the finally.

Now that I think about it too bad I did not get any pics.

There was one thing that was very unfortunate.

My beer got hot.:-banghead

Hell of a story Rocky. Wish you got pics. I would like to see that

I chunked it out the back by a bar ditch and came around the front to wash the draveway down. Heard a noise over head and saw a owl with a snake flying overhead. I bet it was it. I know its not where I threw it too many animals travel that area. I live real close to a wildlife habitat. I will try and get the wife to take some pics next time. If I can get her to come out side. LOL

Them cottonmouths do stink.I have only seen one up this way but he got my attention and I have hunted snakes since I was a kid.
I wish we still had frogs to gig up here.I sure like em':9

Someone once asked if I wanted frog legs and I said no mine were fine like they are

Taste like chicken
 

Good one Robert

HELL FROZE OVER
 

Told you boys if it happened again I would get some pics.

Well it happen this evening. There is a good story to go with it. But I will post that later. I need to set down and have a couple of cool ones after this guy. He was a fighter.
