Hey Guys, are these Timber Rattler skins? thanks for your two cents!

WidowEater · October 23, 2012, 04:18:00 PM

Yep

Are they Morrison limbs? I have seen lots of Morrison bows with Canebrake skins and I love them dearly.

YORNOC · October 23, 2012, 04:28:00 PM

yes, look like the skins I used to get from Georgia

Thanks guys, yes, they are Morrison limbs. They were represented as Canebrake, but someone recently mentioned he did not think they were. Just wanted to get some opinions! Appreciate it.

And they're awesome looking!

Bob,knows how to put skins on the limbs!

Canebrake is a subspecies of Timber Rattler. Dorsal line is one of the indicators for Canebrake, so I would say they are Canebrake.

Yep Canebrakes, here are mine.

Yep, canebrake or timber rattler, depending on where they come from

Don't bring those to Texas!! A warden will take your bow and leave you with a big fat ticket!

I see them around Stillwater, especially NW near Maramec.

ChrisM,
You can have them in Texas legally. Just have a reciept showing an origin from somewhere other then Texas.
Reference page 27 TX hunting and fishing reg's..

That is good to know if I ever head south, but I didn't get a receipt from the classifieds. No idea where the skins originated from :-) Guess I'll just stay North of the Red River.

goldflinger,
Canebreaks and / or Timbers are a listed species in many states. You should get some sort of paperwork showing a legal point of collection and origin.

sweet! nothing like rattler skins on limbs. nice photos. I have put them on one long bow I built. Turned out beautifully.

Aren't you innocent until proven guilty? Let them prove you got them from Texas!

I like the way you think, but what a hassle the time and travel would be to go back for that court date to present your defense. Note to self, "take your whip if you ever hunt in Texas"
