RE: snake hunters
Well i never went out and actually looked for a snake to kill but i have killed a rattler when i went out dove hunting several years ago. Snakes are actually hard to find out here come to think of it.

RE: snake hunters
when I was doing Taxidermity work,I would go out and hunt rattlers.They were money makers.(easy to mount and easy to sell).
since then,I have not hunted them.I do kill them when I see them , get the skins for belts and hat bands.

It was one of my favorite summer passtimes twenty years ago. I live in a large rice farming area, and used to hunt cottonmouths and copperheads around rice ditches. Arkansas Game & Fish has since made it illegal to shoot snakes & turtles.

I' ve done some hunting for rattlesnakes in the past. When my buddy first bought his hunting camp the area right around the cabin was infested with them. We took 15 of them and passed them onto a lady at our church who makes rattlesnake soup. Very tasty I might add.

RE: snake hunters
This thread reminds me of something that happened to me when i was 12, i was sitting on a dock off of a creek and this guy pulls in this big big turtle, it was a snapper and it got loose on the dock and was snapping at him and he pulls out this .45 and blows it's head off and then hangs it from it's foot off the dock to drain the blood, and then says he'll make turtle stew.
