Serious question here.  I like shooting guns with the rest of y'all.  If the snake was secured with a rake, why not kill it with the rake?  Obviously not as fun, but also less of a to-do.

I mean of yer gonna kill, go big or go home .  A rake ?!  WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF STYLE ?!

My wife and youngest are at the farm a couple of days early to do some chores prior to the family Thanksgiving brouhaha-ha-ha.  Excitement ensued. 4'6", twelve rattles.  

You are cooking this for the family right?

I figured by now they would be in hibernating by now?  Did they find it under something? 

IIRC, they don't actually hibernate but rather a hybrid type situation where they come out on warm days and stay in on cool days.

How do you get close enough with a wedge or rake without opening yourself up to potentially getting bit from it launching itself at you. Those things can move quickly.

We've got a lot of experience.  The last six years have been snake Armageddon.

You need to get rid of that hackberry anyhow. Trash tree too damn close to the house.

That tree was there when I was a kid.  We'll see who dies first.

Being sentimental towards a hackberry is like being sentimental towards your most memorable bowel movement. Sure, it was a great experience to drop those kids off at the pool, but you flushed them just the same.

Killed about a 20" rattlesnake on my patio last week. Mrs Rojo found it...yes there was a PESCADOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! moment. Told the boy to fetch me a shovel, whacked it in the head with the flat of the shovel, then used the side to cut it's head off. Mrs Rojo still won't go in the back yard.

It’s called brumation

Damn, I was out roaming with the kids the last couple days completely carefree from rattlers due to the cold. They were crawling through the brush around the stock tank collecting “dinosaur” bones. Glad I didn’t check this thread beforehand or they wouldn’t have had nearly as much fun. Also glad they didn’t come across any big mutherfuckers like bmbmd!

I took 2 steps right up the back of a 4+ footer on a cold morning dove hunting south of Tilden. 

Didn't move, didn’t rattle.

That’s the day I stopped hunting in snake gaiters and started hunting in snake chaps.

Good on little Rojo. If memory serves me correctly, didn’t I go to high school with Mrs. Rojo?

I found one in my back yard that I kept as a pet for almost six years. Never snapped at me once, easily the nicest snake I’ve ever owned. And they’re typically pretty mean. RIP Billy Jack.

 

I had a bull snake someone gave me as a baby. I had it about a year, then it got so ornery that I couldn't feed it very easily. Finally just let it go.

The neighbor died a few years ago. His granary is about a hundred  yards from my place. It’s full of rotting feed.  His rats spill over to my barn. Snakes line up for an easy meal. The place is on the market if you’re interested

 

How much will you pay me to take it off your hands?

I wanna know the evolution of that. Like how does the genetic code of that snake know to create a fake spider on it's tail over thousands of years. That shit is fascinating. 

Nah, that shit is a gift from the devil

A big bang occurred that aligned billions of variables and presto, science.

In the next week or so I will start looking for snakes to take photos of. Hoping to finally get a good shot of a rattlesnake. The only one I have a shot of isn’t that great of a photo.

Better you than me brah, godspeed.
