This is why you wear snake boots. Of course, if that thing struck you, it would break bones!
This guy was out looking for hogs in Georgia with his shotgun. Heard a rattle and his first instinct was to point and shoot. The snake was about 6'2". Look at the head on that thing!!! Eastern Diamondback. :flehan:

Makes me wanna stay home more but deer and hog seasons are fast approaching. Good thing it is an eastern rattler. I will try to find a picture of another big un and post later. It would make this one look like one of its babies........ I also have a picture of rattlers killed at the deer lease by a friend of mine. It will make you shutter.

Seen that pic before That is a big snake for sure. I'm not a fan of rattlers. I had a close call with one and I didn't like it. LOL

Microsoft ... it's not a waste if they ate it.
An Eastern Diamondback that big can actually strike you hard enough to break the bones in your leg.

I guarantee Jeff would be LRT or "Laying Right There" and I would be doing CPR on him after killing the snake. It is a wonder that I haven't had to do it yet.

Hey Snap Shot. Those Eastern Diamond Backs are in this area too! There was a man that was bitten in the Conroe area a few years ago that wound up dying from the bite!
