Poisonous snakes aren't even safe around Sam.  You are one killing fool.   The skins look perfect on the bow. Nicely done.

You clearly have a snake infestation.
 You should start a deportation program by sending me some of those skins...
 Nice job on the bows.

Cottonmouths make up 80 percent of what I encounter most too small for limbs and the Copperheads run smaller.  It’s been a few years since I’ve encountered a Diamondback. Well done Sam

Thanks everyone , I like the looks of them...

Have both bows with me on a short hunting trip now will see if they add any luck.

After posting here and sending out some pics to friends I now have a long list of bows to put skins on. Guess I need to start snake hunting...

I once killed a snake with my bow that I never even saw. Had a big round roll of hay I was using for a target, and was shooting from fairly long distance. Dropped one low, that hit right at the bottom of the round bale. My daughter, then about 8 or 9 yrs old, was with me and went to pull arrows for me. When she pulled the low arrow from under the bottom edge of the bale, it had skewered a rat snake. She flung arrow, snake and all and took off for the house.
