Ok, this wasn't this past weekends find but it was last weekends find.
Thought I would do a little detecting up on the mountain here in Alabama.
But I found out it might still be a little early. I was just a swinging away in the woods
when all of the sudden I just happen to look ahead of me a few extra feet and there
he was, one big ugly timber rattler. Well since I had not found anything else that day
I tied him to my detector and went home. (after I hit him in the head with a club) ;D
Then I mounted him this past week, and it turned out pretty good..
Sending a few pics. Please be careful out there, those no shoulders are moving
around.

Well as a country girl in Alabama, I can assure you that there is NO shortage of those rattler's around here! :-X Beautiful job on the mount, Bandit! Cool dog, too! 8) And if I'm not mistaken, that's ivy growing up those trees!? :icon_pirat: Sure giveaway to a great site to hunt! :thumbsup:

Nana :wink:
 

Around here its water moccasins and coral snakes with just the occasional eastern diamondback.
note to self: add S&W.357 mag to detecting kit... Roll Eyes

Ditto on that one Scratch, I've been bitten by a venomous snake before. Now if I see them first, guess who's gonna win, the 1911 Colt every time ;D And I darn sure won't wait long enough to tell what kind they are.
 

Glad to hear you came out okay Rider!! I figure the majority of folks that worry about rattlesnakes being killed have never watched someone dying from being bit by one.....I suppose I could be wrong though.
 

Kill'em all and lot God sort them out! If anyone has a shortage of rattle snakes, come to Oklahoma and take a few of ours. We have a couple of snake hunts here every year and several hundred rattlers are found within an area of about 10 square miles. And there is never a shortage the next hunt! Anyone that tells you they are endangered is blowing smoke up your....uh...nose. M ::) nty

Most of the snake huggers, in my opinion, should be exposed to a rattler in person, then they'd sing a different tune.

As an example, the Mojave Green rattler is 39 time more venomous than any other variety of rattler. Plus it's agressive and will come after you unlike others that will leave the area.

There are also pygmy varieties that do not have the rattler buttons to give warnings...and are as deadly as their bigger brothers. Also, the pygmies climb into trees and bushes to get to bird nests...fun having one of these drop on ya.
 

I was raised in Southeastern Oklahoma where we had an abundance of poisonious snakes. Copperheads, Cottonmouths, and Rattlesnakes. We done our best to keep them thinned out. Great Mount the last picture looked alive to me. Snake lovers I've heard it all now :icon_scratch:
 

For all of you mount lovers, I would loooooove to see you wack a grizzly bear over the head...or the grizzly bear wack you over the head with his meaty paws. :thumbsup: Then, we'll call it even. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Keep the Colonial wacking over the head fever high, folks! ::)
 

The mounting looks great.

I'm not a hunter and have no desire to be one but I see nothing wrong with this post or hunting. I do think we should protect endangered animals and if you hunt you should eat what you kill or donate it to the needy. If there is anyone out there that is so dead set against killing animals then they should stop driving their cars because there are by far more animals killed by motor vehicles then by hunters in any given year.

Hunt the rock hunt the rock and branch out from there it marks something. Its not like it just grew there or spouted, its there for a reason to mark something or a way to something. Any other strange trees or rocks around?

I am a Country Boy, I have friends that kill and skin deer in their garages. I think its the most discusting thing a human being can do.

If in its own environment I personally would just walk the other way and leave it alone. In that case I am the intruder and it should have every right to bite me. As its just protecting its self as well. It won't chase you down and kill you because it wants to feel good about itself and something it can do.

We have no reason with today's food technology to kill anything. I can't recall who said this but... "As long as humans kill and eat animals they will kill eachother". Did you know Einstein was a vegetarian too?....Go figure :D

Don't worry nature is big enough to control itself. That rock alone should tell you your in Gods country, try and respect it. Everything alive fears death, so everything alive admires life. If it was not for the Tree Hugger and Animal Lovers its likely you would not even have that nice mount today.

Oh, and I don't condone smearing blood on anything.

That's a cool dog, a little guardian.

Whatever... to each his own!

Keep @ it and HH!!

Beautiful snake and nice job on the mount! :thumbsup:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but why are folks saying this man should be harmed or wish harm upon a fellow human when in their opinion it is not OK to harm a snake? I am sure none of these folks owns a leather belt, shoes, a fur coat, or has leather seating in thier cars.....Or never ate a steak or a burger? It is easy for them to say "Look at me I would never harm or kill a living thing, I am BETTER that you!" Yet those same fingers that typed those words just reached into a leather wallet and pulled out money to pay for hamburger. I guess it is ok to contribute to the death of such "innocent" beings if you can drive to the store and buy them to eat or wear.


”Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measurement ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote (speck) that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and them shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5
