My .410 Snake Charmer, works great for Halibut too.

that big ole coon-tail looks like he just ate a couple fox squirrels for breakfast!

Best thing for a rattle snake is the smoke from a mesquite wood fire, a little salt and some lemon pepper.

We kill a fair amount of timber rattlers... that’s a good one. Beautiful skin...looks like it just shed. Good to put on the wall and good to eat!!

Kinda like eating turkey necks.

I am no snake lover for sure but I think the timber is a protected animal.... I have heard stories of game Wardens showing up because of Facebook pictures..... I could be wrong but it's the reason I stopped posting pics like this... That is one dangerous snake....

I learned that PA has a season and permits or some such...but basically you are not allowed to whack em. I guess the black snake that i caught in the weedeater in high grass doesn't count. Motor bogged and I thought I had grass twisted in the head. Imagine my reaction when I lifted it out and had a four footer by the tail, a wrapped up in the head. Suddenly that weed eater wasn't long enough! Thank goodness it wasn't that pictured fiend!!!!! He would have stayed tangled till the motor ran out of gas!

Years back, we serviced a vehicle for one of the local Game Warden. Found out the "Scrub Jays" are protected as well as "Rattle Snakes".
According to the Game warden, you can kill all the rattle snakes you see, just don't tell him.

Thanks for the concern. When it's 10 feet from my front door and coiled and angry, it's self defense, period.

Buy FYI, timber rattler is not protected by either State or Federal law in Alabama.

Ya gotta burn um out

I'm not sure what that means, but it made me laugh. Thanks.

I completely agree , you can't just ask them to leave.... That is one deadly snake also.... I guy was bitten on the hand here and died before he could get to the hospital and get help... A timber is no joke....

Any snake is protected in Tennessee according to the TWRA. They better have the ticket book out when I see a Rattlesnake or Copperhead. They may kill rodents and other such pest but so do I. Also, I believe that I’m more scared of them than they are me. Bang… Just Sayin….

I’m Arizona we have 13 species of rattlesnakes, four are protected and the other 9 can be dispatched if you have a hunting license. I’ve hunted a lot of terrain here and have seen many many rattlesnakes but have never seen any of the four that are listed as protected. I would hope that any of the 13 would be considered fair game if they are that close to your house, probably best to act as judge and jury and just keep to yourself in that case.

Two types of snakes, the one in the neighbors yard and a dead one.
