Looks like a good size skin too, whats your plans for it ?
Nice. I can say honestly that you are the only preacher I know that hunts snakes and gators with just a knife.
There are a good many reasons I don't handle rattle snakes. The first six are fear.
I don't handle any type of snake. When I had my mini farm and barn, in the spring I would find a very large skin hanging from the center beam in the bottom stalls. It was at least six feet long, I didn't even want to handle it.Quote:

We always put them back where we catch them if they were under cover and then replace the cover. He put that little snake down and that thing acted like a cotton mouth with its head all back and mouth open. Very un-southern ring neck snake behavior. LOL The baddest ring neck on the planet!
We have cotton mouths in my neck of the woods. I dislike cotton mouth, because one of them got me once when I was a kid. I had to take anti-venom, nearly died. I kill them when I see them. It's a personal beef.
I mostly leave snakes be....they are great pest control....been know to pick up small snakes and release them under the shed.
Mow the high grass around cabin and sheds, and am aware when fooling with wood piles, and hiking.
Biggest was about 5 ft long, came out of the ditch right after I had been there, but hadn't seen it.
Very nice catch! I am WAY TOO scared to go anywhere near snakes. My wife was bit while we were walking in the property behind our house. I had to rush her to the hospital! Never again! :)
You're crazy! I've kept venomous snakes for several years and i'd still never hold one by the head. Extremely dangerous. Where was he sitting at?
I have the big hear philosophy as well. Not gonna look for one, pick it up or do anything else with one.
I think he's holding the rattlers. It's already been decapa...dicapt...had it's head cut off. (shiver).

Rattlers are indeed pretty good to eat. I can certainly understand hunting them for food and skins like Carney does, but I will never kill a snake just to kill it. They're part of "the plan" and fulfill their role in the ecosystem just as surely as the cute and cuddly animals do!:laugh:

Was fueling up the tractor and notice I had run over the tail of a garter snake, small one maybe 16"....kind mashed the tail a bit....but was still alive, put him near the shed, so he had a place with mice....to go....Gone this morning....??????
Got this one across my field, in my Brothers yard, coiled up at his front door. Wasn't hunting him... GZilla sent his head flying!

Now THAT would make a nice knife sheath.
I share my lawn with blue racers, and garter snakes, some black rat snakes in the trees along the woodline, unidentified small bronze colored on my front porch as I stepped out the door coiled up towards me in a strike position that one didn't make it to the next minute. usally i let them live and scoot them away but if they get aggressive for no reason its over.
Yes it would Crash..Quote:

Just be careful cos snakes heads seems to be alive even after being decapitated. It can still bite.!
You are never careful enough. I have Knife Hunt Snakes for about 30 years. (And other reptiles) I taught swamp survival training, which involved Cottonmouths being an easy meal. I am very aware of our South Mississippi poisonous snakes.Quote:

I spent two years in and around Yuma, AZ with a lot of time in the desert and mountains. It was a snake hunt alright; they hunted me!!!!
Yeah, here in Mississippi there are plentiful snakes. I spent a lot on my teen years clearing duck blinds on Cotten Mouths and Copperheads. We have one guy with a ten foot stick lift logs and one guy with the 12ga. Lots on fun but now I wish I'd learned how to handle them and milk the venom.
you are the rock mannnnnn.....
Naw, just Carney!;)Quote:

I generally give all snakes the option to retreat but about a year ago a friend of mine with a "for hire" campground asked me to help him clean up under a large rock that young kids frequented. Said he was pretty sure there were a couple Copperheads under it. Turned out there were seven there.

Nice pic neondog. Love Copperheads;)
And as a reminder, I rarely kill snakes, except for Wilderness Training, & I do kill venomous snakes on property to close to House. My little ones know how to identify & stay SHY of them. I began Knife Hunting Snakes when I was probably 14

I killed a pretty good sized snake with my lawnmower once (unintentional) and decided to cook and eat it, something I've never done before. I didn't skin it or anything first, maybe that was the first mistake. I just threw it straight onto hot coals and I think I cooked it for too long. I could hardly find any good meat on it after de-gutting it. Oh well, I made a funny video about it at least (I recorded the whole process with some funny monologue).
You cooked the snake without cleaning it? :)Quote:

There are many ways of learning.....from the "What is the best toothpick"....to "Holy crap, I ain't never doing that...again"....Like throwing a can of cherries in to the fire.......
Seems to be there needs to be a balance......and a goal of success, not a video with a lot of hits......LOl...of course if I would have had liked to have had one of the cherries....LOL
