big big rattlesnake

That's a beauty. Downside is that the pattern is too large to do much with, skinwise. Killed one in Fl that had 14 sections on the rattle and measured a horizontal 70" and a vertical(gravity stretched) 74" . Got it with my trusty Silvertip. I'd be happy to send a pic to anyone who may be smart enough to post it

Beautiful animal! Same for your python Al  

I always feel a little pang of shame seeing such a beautiful, noble old Patriarch (or Matriarch) dead, but there again, I ain't gotta live with poisonous snakes!  :D

[alligatordond]

Oh Man, if you did not have a picture of a real snake that statement could be taken the wrong way.  Ive always wanted to get a big snake like that and have it mounted.

Biggie, between you and the snake, your bow looks like a little twig.    :D

So Biggie, while snake hunting, you wear Sitka Gear on the top and Mossy Oak on the bottom. Whatya kill if you reverse the order?  

[alligatordond]

Biggie wins. Mine was only 6'2"

Biggie: we don't snakes that big here in Idaho....I am suffering now from genus envy !!

I shot a 5 foot 9in western diamondback it texas, I had a full body mount done on it, I figure that I will never get another one that big.
I have also killed two 4 foot timber rattlers on my property.
