I've been a hunter for almost 60 years and when I was young I, just like most of the guys I ran with, would kill anything when we were out with our guns or bows.   After hit my mid 20's I realized that any time I was armed I was the Lord of the Forest....so to speak....when it came to having the power to kill and it was at about that time that I quit shooting things that I wasn't going to eat.   I also realized I loved just about everything that I ran into in the woods except cotton mouths.   I've let dozens of copper heads and the few rattlers that I've encountered go but cotton mouths are another thing altogether and I'll kill them every time if I can.

Some people are just ignorant.  I wonder sometimes if God punishes people by bringing them back as a snake or a turtle crossing a 4 lane highway.

No need to get hateful.  I suppose you ^^^ have never done anything that someone else doesn't approve of?? Right?

Being on a trad hunting site, I assume most of us hunt and kill animals also.  There are people who would try to bash us for that.  I would hope that folks on here would have a better personality and higher respect for others than to stoop to that level.  

God Bless,

Sorry you caught all the lecturing and grief, good shot, well done.  I got a kick out of Landman's comments above.  If you live with Cottonmouths they absolutely take top billin' for snake killin'.

Growing up in Louisiana, I can tell you for sure. If it looks like a water moccasin, shoot. Don't worry too much about the yellow belly water snake, or whatever they think it might be. The only snake I don't mind is a king snake. I just saved one on the road today. I like those, they eat bad snakes. I will go out of my way to help a king snake. Every other snake... meet my arrow, or Ruger or mossberg or whatever it takes.

My dog got bit by a rattler 3 weeks ago. He is just now starting to look and act normal (finally doesn't have a basketball sized pouch of swollen puss on his neck). I figure the vet bill will be equal to about 200 rattler hides. I plan to get my money back on that deal...

Rat control? King snakes eat bad snakes AND RATS... and I have two boys under 12, with bows and pellet rifles. Between the king snakes I save, and the boys, there aren't too many rats around here... God willing, soon there won't be many, if any, rattlers around here either.

Jeez Keith, thought we had made up.    :bigsmyl:  

Thanks for the kind words guys, this is a great site!  Hopefully I will kill a pig in a couple days.  That being said, I'm letting the word out now that I will be discarding the hocks instead of pickling them.  I'm hoping this will not be the start of another controversy.    :p

Good grief, the man killed a potentially poisonous snake and just wanted to bring his first traditional kill to TG for a few accolades.

Yet he was slammed; well I say good on you and you are welcome at my camp fire any time.

Mods  please kill this "snake" it has gone poisonous to it's readers.

If god didn't want us to kill animals why did he give us the ability?

Don't feel bad there's lots if people who don't like things like this, they go by a 4 letter acronym.  Ill let you figure out which.

Limbender, like we were talking about before, keep doing what your doing brother and post a pic of the hog your gonna kill

My comment was directed towards the guys who kill all snakes.  All snakes are beneficial.  Some need to be removed...around houses and kids, etc.  But to kill them just to kill them just doesn't make sense to me.  You might not like them, but that doesn't mean to kill them on sight anywhere.

Good shooting LimBender!

As hunters it is necessary to protect our resources, but that does not mean we cannot harvest animals from those resources. From everything I have heard Cottonmouths are bad beasts to encounter and as such many people kill on site. I think that if you use your harvest for a logical purpose there is nothing wrong with killing a snake or twenty.   :bigsmyl:  

Now get a matching skin and trick out your bow   :thumbsup:

Congrats on the shot and sharing it with family.

I haven't been to church in a while so I'm glad I read this, we have some wonderful sermons within these pages...

BTW, does your bible say that snakes are NOT evil (what is evil??)...maybe it is optional...pet them or kill them....or even eat them.  HA!
