ACK, first email I opened this morning!!



Taken from the Stephenville newspaper:

The Great Rattlesnake Hunter from Proctor has been out looking under rocks again, this time near Alexander. On Valentine's Day Jim Bob Basham, holding the snake, and his fellow hunters, Danny Fincanno and Johnny McClatchy of Dublin, uncovered a den of rattlers that yielded this monster.

This snake is even bigger than the one Basham caught last November that made its rounds on the Internet. Big Charlie here is more than 6 feet (an exact measurement was not attempted) and weighs 11 pounds.

He boasts 15 rattlers and a button. He was sharing the den with 11 other rattlers that were all caught ALIVE!

 

wow!!! wouldnt want that thing crawling down my street lol

 

Hey Lynell imagine one of those climbing up the bed covers Ssssss..... J/k

 

I would crap my pants --- I am petrified of snakes, I dont even like looking at snake skin!!

I was brushing my horse one day in the pasture. Well, the horse started acting funny, I looked down and saw the snake! I pushed the horse back and grabbed a T-post and beat that critter to pieces.

Shane came home about 20 minutes later and when I saw him I started shaking and freaking out tell him about the snake. He walked over and looked at what was left of the snake and said, "Gosh baby, that was a good snake!" I said, "Hmmm, its a good snake now!"

 

Wow, that's a biggie! I would hate to sit on that one when I'm turkey hunting. Lucky for me I use a small stool to sit on. I was out one morning hunting and it was kinda slow so I started looking around and guess what I see. A rattlesnake about 2ft from my stool and right behind my friend(he is super skittish). He freaked out when I told him it was there. Luckily it was kinda cool out so he(the snake) was slow to move. It was only about 3ft long but, it got dead.

 

 

Jason!!


although I must admit, that looks like a good snake now as well......

 

I'm sorry... I'm sorry but thats funny. I guess I'll have to put a fake rubber snake in Shelby if we visit

Or.... will that constitute a good ole' southern **** kicking?

Mmmm.... Alligator So you'll feed me to your pet huh? LOL. We'll see. I bet Shane would laugh!!

Screw that thing!

 

Here's my pet rattler

 

I will always remember a funny story about my friend when we were a kid.

We were throwing the baseball around and his dad came outside. He told his son to pick up the dead snake and throw it out. My friend refuse and said he won't go near a snake. So he told his dad to pick it up. His dad said the same. Finally his mom came out, being disgusted with both of them. She picked it up and threw it away with her bare hands. Then she laughed at both of them.

 

I live in Rattler alley.
Once not too long ago, I was screwing around in my flowerbeds(two houses ago) and I touched something velvety. It was a friggin rattler. I have never launched myself up onto a porch so quickly.
Snake quickly met the business end of a 357.....

 

I wish I had a pet gator
