RE: rattle snakes are starting to come out.
like I said, ignorance
snakes are beneficial to the ecosystem. ya'll call yourselves sportsman on one hand, and then on the other kill every snake you see and that shows your true colors
I doubt 1 of 10 here can even identify common snakes, much less know poisonous from non-poisonous. I'm not an expert by far, but watching people who call themselves sportsman and conservationists slaughter animals for no reason again just shows the ignorance many people have.
If you don't have a damn good reason to kill it, don't. Its very likely against the law anyway (its is in my state anyway) and killing a snake illegally is absolutley just as much poaching as shooting a big velvet buck in July.
I'm ashamed that I have to be associated with hunters like ya'll [

Like i said call me a poacher, i come accross a rattler.... Im NOT taking any chances. Honest answer. I dont know what the laws are and really dont care, same goes for spiders too, I can handle them better, but if it dont look like your commmon mailbox spider than it better leave my sight.... same with a snake.
EDIT: I will add by saying this, if the things on a dead run to get away from me, Im not going to chase it down to kill it, that would be defeating the purpose of staying out of any potentiol emergency room visits.

RE: rattle snakes are starting to come out.
I've already smoked 3 big rattlers this spring with my .357 snake shot. God i love doing that. I hate snakes more than anything in this world, especially rattlers. No argument any man could make would stop me from killing every rattler i see. I don't need to have a hunting season cut short by my ass in a hospital getting anti-venom viles.

RE: rattle snakes are starting to come out.
It's kind of funny how some people are soafraid of snakes. Some burly guy who will stand up to anything and anyone, yet put a snake in front of him, and he will run like a little girl. I personally really like rattlesnakes, fried that is. If I do kill a rattler, and I've killed several, I eat it. They are delicious. I won't kill one just to kill it. It's a bonus to come up on a 5 or 6 footer while hunting. There is no law in Louisiana stating you cannot kill snakes. Most people who come across one do kill it.I don't kill every snake I come across, and in LA., I come across them all the time.

Yes, in Oklahoma there is an establishedrattlesnake season ... and it is currently open

do they have a season? I mean, is it legal to just kill them? ,,,Before anyone thinks I'm judging, I'm not .....just asking a question ...
