He sent me this later and IDK if I am going back to work w/o a 12 ga or not “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

If you know it is coming, like when I am snagging one it is no big deal but if you didnt see one until he strikes it makes yer butt jump up into you adams apple “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

traprjohn trapper T Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,165 Central NC	Originally Posted by dirtydogtrapping I hate snakes and that one reinforces why I hate them. We have timber rattlers here that get pretty big, but never heard of one that big. How many rattles did it have. Been told you can tell the age of them that way ? You were told wrong. They get a new rattle each time they shed their skins. They shed 2-4 times/yr depending how fast they grow. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.
