That's how I like them! Nice and big so I can see them from afar and shoot them. 8)

Wonder what they going to do with that little one?

We always let them little ones like that go and only take the big ones for our rattlesnake roundup! :D

Was that snake killed recently Scott? It seems like I've seen that picture or one very similar to it last summer. At any rate, he's a big'un :shock: . I saw one not quite that large in the lowcountry of South Carolina and just the sight of that thing made me sick to my stomach.
God Bless !!!!!!!!!

How much bone did he have?
Did he make B. & C.?
Save him a couple years he`d be a good one.
Did any one age him?

They are classified as endangered here, and it's a huge fine to kill one!
