Makes me think about all those times ive rode a 4wheeler through the woods. If that thing fell on me id die from sheer panic.

I had no idea they ever climbed up into trees Ilke that.We have quite a few on our property and they are just crawling on the ground or curled up at the base of a tree.


In my 60+ years I've never seen one off the ground, that is a first for me

This brought back the not so fond memory I have from 5 yrs ago in Tensas. I was alone over a mile from the truck on some solid deer sign, I wrap my linesman belt around a tree to climb. Now Im connected to the tree next to this guy whose tit level on a branch a couple feet away. I slowly got my bow in hand and launched a grim reaper into him.

Point me at’em.
I need a new rattlesnake spot. New Orleans East is the only place I know of close by, but it’s just too damn risky…and not because of the rattlesnakes.

I am going out on a limb and saying this photo is staged.

Damn, that’s a good one. Just finished tanning and framing one I got last turkey season turned out pretty good. Pics to follow

I read an article about them chipping some timber rattlers and finding them up in oak trees. I turkey hunt a lot and that information was life changing.

Stepped on one last year during early bow season. If it had been an eastern I might not be here typing this.

Well now I have something to think about while wading through the flooded timber this winter…
