Might be a fun post. I ran across this one today. Big and sassy in the Nebraska Sandhills.

We flipped him in the water multiple times with the net but he kept swimming back in so we beached it and flipped him out onto the sand. All we had were fishing rods and a landing net but made for a cool picture. He was ticked.

When I find them in the driveway, I shoot them, #12 shot in a 41mag and the problem is solved.

Where abouts in the Sandhills? I explored a lot around Valentine and South to Thedford when I lived in that country. I heard of a few on the south refuge but a lot along the rivers

That would have been his boat....

Grandma worked at a hospital in California years ago as nurses aid. She said two guys came in after being bit by a bell worm that got in the boat with em while fishing Kaweah lake

Ran into this guy on Saturday. I only had my 22 Creedmoor on me, which made it a little more difficult to dispatch. Lesson learned - carry my pistol when I’m in the canyons!

I’ve killed a lot of them, especially working and hunting in the oilfields in NM. The only time that really spooked me was hunting deer in September a few years back, I stand up from glassing to piss, and look down to see a snake had crawled right up to my feet. I couldn’t scare it away (didn’t want to shoot it since we knew there was a big deer in the area). I was not very effective in hunting the rest of the day

This one lives in a hollowed out stump right next to a hiking trail for going on 3 years now, 8 or 9 rattles, it looks a lot bigger in person.

Found two baby rattlers while scouting for sheep. Here’s one of them.

Was walking through hip tall grass turkey hunting with my bow. Stepped on what felt like a wet cow patty. Turned around and spotted him. Didn’t strike, didn’t even rattle. I told ol snattlerake he gave me a pass, so I’ll do the same. And we are even.

He was getting close to 4’. Started wearing snake boots after that.
