Guys Shaner is a cadet member and curious as to why, no snide comments are needed. Lets ask MS Bowhunter why he killed it? All valid reasons listed but his may be different. Shawn

Despite what some say, we could get along just fine with only nonpoisonous snakes. Maine, where I live, has been free of poisonous snakes for over 100 years with no detrimental effects.
Anytime I see a situation that could kill some unexpecting person, I eliminate it, if I can.

The only snake found in Western Washington (east of the Cascade Mountains) is the docile and non-poisonous Garter Snake.
I believe most of us who live here are happy with that. You can keep those nasty cottonmouths and rattlers in your backyards.

I can see both sides of the kill or not kill scene.
I have yet to eat it.
They sure do look good on a bow though.
Why doesnt anyone use cottonmouth skins anyway?

Hey guys thanks for fixing the pic i'll try and post another one here in a minute. Shane the reason for the taken of the "Snake" life was one based on it's either him/her or me and possible loss of life and at the very least a lengthy stay in a hospital if bitten. I did a search on goggle 3 weeks ago after finding a 18" rattler (yep kill that one to) and it said an adult Eastern Rattlesnake will have up to 24 offspring each year...that's a lot of extra worry when going afield that i don't want to deal with so i lessen the odds every chance i get. The one in the picture was 53" without the head and had 10 rattles and a button. I was so shaken by it i missed several time before i connected and even then i had to beat it with a stick (the straighter one in the picture) and even after the head was removed it continued to strike at the air and rattel
:eek: I kept thinking there are others around and he/she calling in reinforcements :(

I'm not positive but I believe that Canebreaks are federally protected. I think I read something on another site about it. They removed the pictures because of it.
You might want to check on it to be sure.

Draco, this one is an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, not sure if it is protected.

Here in Idaho; you can only kill a rattlesnake in self defense. I swear - the ones I killed before this new law- all drew on me first !!

its illegal in Arkansas to kill a snake unless its imminent danger to you - and I've actually become quite an ally of snake in the last couple of year. I can't stand killing them for no reason - but that said the poster did say the following, and I can live with that and I think most people can too.
1. It is great table fare, some of the best around IMO
2. Great looking skin for bow building,quiver building ect.ect.

The question was asked "why don't people put cotton mouths on bows". Alot of times cotton mouths are just about black. You can see a pattern if you look closely but they aren't clear at all. Besides that, I actually think the ba$*@%ds would still try to bite you after you've skinned them and put them on your bow!
