Just like the title asks. I am interested in a nice pair of skins. Anyone that could help point me in the right direction.
There is a guy that goes by alphamale on the *********** that has some.
No help here as it's illegal in MS to buy/sell/trade/barter in animals/animal parts native to the state (except animals with a fur season and/or bounty).
I will point out that some folks won't know what a "canebreak" is. Around here they are known as timber rattlers, or velvet tails.
Timber rattlers (canebreak), are in peril here in Kansas. They are protected being a "Species In Need of Conservation " (SINC). I remember a time they were quite common, not any more though.....not here anyways.
They definitely have beautiful skins though. I see mainly Massasauga here, which are also beautiful but smallish. Good luck, hope you find some.
Check the Bowyers Bench forum, that is where I found some a while ago.
Nice thing about cane break or timber rattlers is if you can only find one skin they can usually be split down the middle and you will get a better matched set. One skin split , half for 1 limb and half for the other.
Cane break or timber rattlers are protected in most states. Illegal to possess or kill in TN.
3Rivers might have them?
Thanks. I will check them out.
What about other rattlers like Parie? Not as big of a skin but plentiful
Try Mike Yancey (Sponsor here) of Pine Hollow Longbows. I know he used to have a very wide selection of snake skins.
