I know different snakes look better on one bow or another depending on woods, but in general....whats all your favorites?

Bullsnakes are tough to beat for me....not the rarest of snakes that I've used, but MAN do they make a lot of bows just POP when you look at 'em.

Gotta be copperheads. I would think that red rat snake, aka corn snake, skin would look really good too.

I vote for copperheads.....

I like Copperheads and Canebrakes because i think they go with the browns and grey woods i like.

Sure makes some great natural Camo...

Yeah! Rats are awesome... the limbs to the left are red rat, and the skins are a pair of wild caught okeetee corn snakes going on my Silvertip next month.

Copperheads over osage and yew are incredible.

i love them all, but my favoirite is prarie rattler only because in MT thats all we have, and they are a pretty snake, if not as vibrant as some of the others

I like watersnake.

YORNOC · « **Reply #9 on:** January 05, 2012, 06:21:00 PM »

Diamondback watersnake, broadband watersnake, other?? They all have cool patterns.

I like bullsnakes, but they're illegal to possess in my state. Second choice is diamondback rattler. Either goes very nicely over black glass. Also have some bows done in prairie rattler. Very nice as well.

I love copperheads, but those rat snakes are nice.

Bullsnake for me. Looks great with Osage.

I put some water moccasins on a short yew bow that turned out fantastic. I used to think copperheads on osage was all there was but lately I've been looking to other skins like diamond back watersnakes. I'm always on the look out for something that is not done a whole lot.

Heres some pics of the moccasins

I love those watersnakes. I also love really dark diamondbacks with the white diamond outline,.
God bless you all, Steve
