MR

I get to go home this afternoon and kill a big rattlesnake that is living out by my wood shop. He already bit my cat and the neighbor’s dog. My wife, Andrea walked up on him last night in the dark, with one contact in and a little flashlight in her hand. She was not amused. I can’t honestly say that I’m thrilled about looking for the thing when I get home-

What weaponry and technique will you employ? It's a rare opportunity so I'd make it worthwhile and memorable.

Sure it's not a Maraca player?

If so, just give him alcohol.

Can of Hairspray.
Lighter.

You're good to go soldier!

What happened to the cat and dog? They ok?

Ohman, good luck, those things are ferocious, but don't let it get in your head. I suggest going in Steve Irwin style. Jump on the mother fucker and wrasstle it to death.


.. Or a can of hairspray and a lighter would work. GOOD LUCK!

My God, wrestle it, spray it?????? Hell, I'll be lucky to see it I'll be standing so far away from it!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Oooh! Crikey! He's a fight-ah!"

(sorry andrew!)

Why did i think this thread was gonna be about stone cold? Anyway be careful with those things a friend of mine got bit by those things on vacation a few years back.

I'd be calling animal control if i were you. They're trained for this business. Don't go jacking with no mofo rattlesnake.

THIS WOULD BE THE CORRECT ANSWER!!! Unless your really, really good with a gun. Rattlers are not something you want to mess with yourself unless you absolutely have to.

True, true, but I HAVE TO!!! There isn't any animal control, this is RURAL WEST TEXAS!!!!!!!

So, when you say "big", are we talkin' boots...or just a decent hat band?? Either way, .

Follow Bill Murry's example and go Caddyshack on the bastard!!

Living in rural Texas means you have a gun, right? Go to your pickup truck, take the rifle off the rack and just shoot that fucker.

If you can't handle that, go to The Home Depot parking lot and hire some Mexican to do it for you.

Why Texans don't pick bluebonnets...

I used to kill snakes with a garden hoe or a large rock. Texans are such wusses.

Isn't it against the law to pick those?

I saw my brother kill a Cotton Mouth on our patio with a shovel. That was in Oklahoma though.

I killed Cotton Mouth's, and Copperheads. They are plentiful in Arkansas.

This one is from Stephenville, TX. We had one nearly this big in our yard. (We're in rural West Tx also) My husband took it out with a shotgun. Have you done an EPresley caricature yet?

I don't think it's really a law. Just what our parents told us to keep us out of the rattlesnakes.

Probably right. Very smart thinking on their part.

I hear they make good eats. Delicious nutritious tastes just like chicken they say. Why is it when someone wants you to eat some foreign meat they say it tastes like chicken?
