Got this one Sunday evening at the farm. Second one caught there this past week. Yes, I was wearing my crocs when I met up with this fellow. Was pretty big, but was missing most of its rattlers.

My puter' screen my be out of focus, but it look's like he's missing his head too. Dang good eatin, right there. I used to get several a year, right here around the house. Killed a 14 and a button right on the front porch once. Haven't seen any in the last few year's. Used to have cotton mouth's and copperhead's around too. The farm field's that border our house and yard have been taken in cotton for several year's. That may have something to do with it. When we had grain crop's there'd be more mice and all. Our cat's (seven and counting) still go off huntin' and bring back the "good's", but not as much as in year's past. How far are you from the Conway, PeeDee area? Frank

Frank, the farm is in Orangeburg County. We have grain in our fields not cotton.

I read where you bear hunt with hounds, Do you deer hunt with hounds? The bear hunting sounds fun.



For those asking where his head is, it is easier to clean one with out the head. I left the head where I found it.

I hunt deer with hound's, although not as much as I have in the past. My youngest son is soon to leave home and he's taking the last 3 deer beagle's I have. I've had as many as 15, but I'm pretty much out of dog hunting now. I still enjoy the dog's, but I've been spending more time fishing these day's. It's not fair to the dog's to not let them run, after all that's their life. I used to rabbit hunt alot, that's really where it started. The dog's that didn't have what it took to be solid rabbit dog's, were used for deer. Now bear hunting that really get's me pumped up. Got to say that's the best there is. Frank
