...... Recieved these pics in an e.mail today; supposedly some Texas rattlers but cannot confirm. Looks like it could very well be Del Rio/Rio Grande City terrain?

I have spent 65 years living with, hunting them by digging out their dens in the winter and killing them when I see them and I have never witnessed this and only know one person that has.

Yep, one good shot would take care of the situation.

Those are big scutters for sure. Makes me glad copperheads are all I have to contend with.
 
That's just great. The snakes are going vertical now. Snake boot don't mean jack. I need snake proof bib overalls.

P.S. It kind of symbolic of the demoncrat and republitard parties when congress is in session.

I have the self tanned hide of one almost that big that came close to nailing me while I was Gold prospecting in the Sierra Nevadas
 
Where I live the biggest one I've killed was just over 3.5 feet. With a strike length of two thirds their body length, I don't have a shovel long enough for those two or the one you're holding. No thank you!
