Timber rattlers
Keith13:
Went out to walk the property this week to grab my cameras, came across 4 different rattlesnakes. I have never seen a rattlesnake in the wild on my place until this year. Earlier this year i killed a 5 footer i happened to have a brush blade with me. Yesterday I didn't have anything with me so they all are still out there. Two years ago we stopped farming the land and now they seem to be exploding in all this tall grass. Seems the website list them as a threated species, not in my neck of the woods.

Sounds like the fields are ready to burn.

maybe you can have them relocated :evil: I guess you just have to find some people who are in strong support of them and see if they'll let them put a few on their property. ;)

Certain city parks, PETA meetings, and a few left leaning polling places tomorrow come to mind.

Schawee and I are scheduled to do a removal on Wednesday, may not go through now because of the weather, but anyway, the guy I'm removing the bees for killed a Timber rattler right across the street.
He's in Algiers which is technically New Orleans.
He showed me the skin and it is huge!
Someone paid him $100.00 for the head and rattle so I didn't get to see that but the skin was enormous and distinctive of a rattle snake.
I believe he said he killed it about a year ago, will have to double check.
