Hey Biggie,

Those things would keep things interesting for sure. Are they any good to eat? Also what kind of head do you use on them? We have a few around here but i have never seen one in all the years I have hunted, if I did I would shoot it.

Naw, really, this is as big a diamondback as I've ever seen. We'll skin him out and put him on a board in the Man Cave.
I'm 6'4" and 340# so you can see, even with the Chuck Adams pose, he's healthy.
With him gone, our deer heard should show an increase this spring :-)

I haven't run up on one this year in MS, but I do see more rattlers in Dec. and Jan. than anybody should.
