Guest bruteshooter Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Rattle Snake I HATE snakes. All of them. Any size, any kind. They are slittering, slimy worthless creatures. They are currently tied with the skunk only I'm afraid of snakes and just hate skunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Rattle Snake That has been on here before, think it was found that the weight and length of that snake were not factual. Rattlesnakes can get pretty big. No way that one weighs any 97 lbs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M00N Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Rattle Snake I have to say I've been lucky and only ran into one poisionous snake in my lifetime and it was on the shore sunning on a rock and I was in the boat so it was safe to look at him for a bit before driving off and letting him be. Other than that I let the garden snakes and rat snakes live in our backyard they keep the voles at bay for us that come over from our neighbors 4 foot high grass that he never mows in his backyard.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Rattle Snake I'd guess him at about 6.5 to 7 foot and 60+ pounds. Pretty darn big. I always wear snake boots when I'm hunting in warm weather, but I DO NOT want to test them on something that big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
