Dog hunters had better be carefull hunting this time of year.  Poisonous snakes can do damage to a good hunting dog.

Thats what I like to see. Only good snake is a dead snake.  I personally dont want to get close enough to one to determine if it's poisonous or not. Everytime I go to check fences I have the trusty 410 with me in case I roll up on a snake.  I know some people will argue that certain snakes are beneficial, but I just don't see it. Kill 'em all.

I will catch a King Snake if I can. When I was a kid hunting in West Texas there some big snakes I think were black and red but no design. The Game Warden said they were not poisonous. So I chased one into a tree (not very tall it was West Texas) I threw stuff trying to knock it down so I could catch it. Forget that snake was probably around five feet long. I realized I was lucky when I caught a garden snake and it bit the tar out of me. I found out a non-poisonous snake can still rip you up Grin Depends on where I am I shoot Copper Heads, Corral Snakes, Rattlers, and Cotton Mouths when I see them. I have even used a Machete because I did not have a gun with me. Any snake in the yard is dead.

I had these pictures emailed to me a few months back. They say the rattlesnake was around 170lbs and was 15ft long.

I used to guide bird hunts on the King Ranch. They have some sure enough large rattlers down there. Going to lose a few dogs during the season for sure.

They have a snake down there called a Blue Indigo that is about 15 feet long. It seemed that long anyway because it is complete run a way material. They eat rattle snakes and you better not kill one.

I'll have to agree. Only good snake is a dead one. From hunting hogs with my dogs on those summer nights in the swamps, i have had my share of snakes. Kill all you can!!

We had a couple of them huge black snakes with big orange clothes on them that hung out in trees.  But was any of yals dad like mine.  If the snake did not rattle it was a bull snake, if it was in the yard it was a yard snake, if it was in the pool it was a water snake.  My dad was very informative for my young mind.

I have a picture of a King Snake eating a Rattlesnake somewhere. I took it when I was a kid living in New Mexico. I will try and find it and post on here.

I got a buddy who is a crack shot with pistol out to bout 40 50 yards but he can't hit a snake at 3 steps. He gets upset with me cause I don't kill any of em. I do have picture of one that was a little over 8 1/2' long and weighed 89lbs a timber rattler or cane break rattler not sure which looked like it would've broke your leg had it struck you.
