That thing is freakin huge! How long is it?

Have any of you ever waved your hand past the nose of a rattler a few hours after it was deemed “dead”? Try it some time, but don't get too close!

PS. Be a good son and get your Dad a Big Red to use on his hunting trips.

Think his nose and head are gone!! I do know after killing them they will move around for two hours or so.. The biggest one I ever killed was about that size back in 87 here in Tucson.

I've only seen 3 in my life and I killed 2 of them, both about 4' long. Many a Texan has told me to cut the head off and bury it, cuz the fangs can pump venom for hours after death. The third one almost bit my kid and took off into the grass before I could find a stick to kill it. To anyone who says "Oh, don't hurt them, they keep the rodent population down" I say "get a cat and shut up".

So who's gonna tell Billy his Dad should be wearing a helmet?

Im just amazed by all the stuff he drives around with on that thing.
Vice grips
Various rolls of tape
A gun
Machete
A Dog
A Snake
Cane
Quart of oil
I think channel locks?

Imagine whats on the rear rack.

Great job Billy's Dad! Only good snake is one without a head IMHO... Just don't like em! Especially the ones that can kill people

Very cool! Rattle snakes are around in my area. But I have never come across one. I have heard they taste good.

Billy knowing I'm from the far southwest what breed of rattle snake is it?? Out here there considered as a diamond back! I have many skins here that I killed and tanned with salt an glycerin over the years, I know how to cook them an have many times with friends eating them AND NO I have not ate any no matter how much I have had to drink!
