I killed his brother 2 days ago. should be good for about 3 more this summer.

curtis
He looked fat to me too. I cut him open and figured to find babies or a rat. He was empty.
Only about a yr old.

1st ya need to get rid of the insides by skinning him. Scrape as much meat as you can off the skin and tack him scale side down to a board. Set in a warm dry place with some air circulation for a few days until the skin dries, shrinks and feels like paper. Remove from board. Roll up and place iin a plastic baggie until you have enough to do a bow. we'll proceed from there.

Copperheads is cool!

Putting them on a bow is E-Z. Getting them is the hard part.

Check with Loyd Lippert. He normally has some nice skins.
