LOL !!
all the folks here against snake killing need to post a address so I can send em the rattlers from up here in the panhandle if they are so dedicated to the slithering sniks lives !
Snakes get kilt here real quick !
A few years back a game office asked if he could use my place as a drop site for deer etc. I said sure they're safe here. I stopped deer hunting quite a while back due to lack of time. The only thing I've killed is Copperheads. He said you know they're protected don't you? I said not near me they aren't. He said not ones around my home either.
My sister’s Texan mother-in-law used to catch rattlers for a living - she kept them in some sort of cage out back and a guy would come every week and take them away. When I met her, she was on the back side of eighty and had had to give it up, but boy! she was still a pistol.
