8' or 10' - who cares? That's a damn big snake. He wouldn't have to bite or squeeze, because a heart attack would take me out!

Instead of going to Florida, can I come up North and shoot with you guys?

We need some good close up pics, when you get that big boy onto some bows.

Come up to Illinois. We don't have big fellas like that. Just some king snakes and moccasins. Here and there a rattler. Can deal wiht those but prefer not to

If I ever saw a snake when hunting that big it would not need to bite or squeeze to kill me.My heart would shut down before he could get close to me!  :scared:

Isn't the skin a little thick for limb backing?

That should be some awesome looking bows! I have always thought that Anaconda skin would look great on a bow - especially a green futurewood Bear!

I'll take you up on that Ken. I thought it was the NYC Mayorsnake, however.

I used to live in Carmel and remember some fairly large rattlers in the woods here and there. Nothing like a python. Only thing close to a python seemed to be the County Assessor Snake. I fixed that problem by moving out to rural Illinos. Never looked back.

We have some pretty nice whitetail deer here too. And very few snakes. Maybe the Chicagosnake.

Thanks

Any close up picks of that skin Mike  :bigsmyl:  

Looks like a good one Bud, What kind hard to tell in the pick.

Hey Mike-
If I bought that skin, would you happen to have a matching one for my upper limb also?

Thanks!
David
