Unfortunately with a diamond back that big you loose the pattern when you put it on a bow.
 Here farther east Eastern Diamond Backs are protected. Those big ones are so rare anymore it is a shame to kill one.

I wanna see what he had in his belly!  Do an autopsy and show us, if it's not too late.

To clarify, I was out hunting on a Day hunt and not in a position to save the skin due to temperatures rising and not heading out of the woods still night.

So no the skin was not saved and not in a condition to save if you noticed on a couple of the pic’s the Simmon’s Tiger Shark ripped through the head and into the body some 11’ down and the blunt left a couple of holes to.

I walk the woods a lot and I don’t kill every snake I see, but one of this size don’t normally survive due to my desire to live to hunt again   :bigsmyl:  

My intent with the post title was not to ask if the skin would work but to get your attention to the sheer size of this monster!  It was the biggest to date that i’ve seen, and i’ve see a few each year.  I didn’t do an autopsy due to time and hunting that afternoon, but it appears by the size of it belly that a very large rabbit or something bigger was consumed.

WOW, just another reason I'm glad to live in Michigan.  Did you find out what was inside the belly?  Looks like a nice sized rabbit.

Last few years it's not been cold enough to make them want to hibernate . So I'm always watching for them.

Mike I didn't check it's content so not sure, but it was heavy.

When I saw the first pic, I was sure that you were out wrangling pythons in Florida!  What a TOAD!

Archie,

When I first seen it the scene of Marlin Perkins of “Wild Kingdom” wrestling that Anaconda in the water was my first thoughts (Marlin liked to drown in that episode if you remember).  I’m aging myself with that show anybody remember the series?
