Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
From long range. I don't want to get near a rattler unless it's on a plate.

The one that was working it's way into my sister's garage in Taos I killed with a maddox. It was close and only thing I saw to use. I chopped it's head off from behind. Adrenaline city! I skun it, tanned the skin, made nuggets, and my sister saved the rattle. She was going to make me a belt and necklace but passed away before that happened.

Here is a picture of me in 1971 holding 2 live rattlesnakes. The only problem is they don't get very big in Iowa. The second and third pictures are of a 4 foot one my brother brought me from Northwestern Alabama. LockDoc

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
The one in your right hand is about the size I encountered in my tales. I've seen a garter snake twice in the past week here. Made me jump both times. No, didn't scream like a schoolgirl but I sure did get startled. SNAKE!!!! comes first, harmless comes a bit after

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I saw a pretty good sized garter snake in my yard which is just fine with me. But that was about a month ago and I haven't seen him since. He might still be around because I have no mice in my barn.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I caught them as a kid, but now I shoot and there's not much to take a pic of. I have experienced two bites, thank goodness they were dry bites. NOT PLEASANT!!!!!!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I run the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail about 6 days a week year round. I start seeing snakes sometime in May. I see a lot of massasauga snakes,at least that’s what I think they are. They’re not very big for a rattlesnake but, running up on one stretched out like a stick always increases my heart rate. The small ones look like twigs. So this time of year every stick on the trail looks like a snake. I’ve seen a few copperheads over the last few years too. I much prefer seeing deer,rabbit,squirrels and turtles.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
On the news just last week they said a rattlesnake bite "could" cost you $153,000, and you might survive.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Back in the late 60s I was mowing yards and walked up on a corral snake in a hedge bush. Shook me up so I looked it up in the encyclopedia to be sure what it was. Encyclopedia, remember those? Corral snakes are not common to my part of the country but there was one.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
One reason I take my morning trail walk at first light is to beat the heat. Also, most of the rattlers are still napping. Or at least moving more slowly.
