Letting Shep get some exercise this afternoon.

Gonna have to find a safer place for him to stretch out.....

We stumbled across another timber rattler....only 5 and a button on this one...about 3.5 ft in length.

About 200 yds from the one a few weeks ago.

Like that other one.....he didn't survive our encounter.

Looks like it would have been a good pet. They and copperheads are protected in Indiana.

So swamp do you think I would be wrong for killing a copperhead in my back yard when my kids find it where they play and my dogs are? I mean it would be against the game laws. I should probably just leave them alone and go the the state house and try to get the law changed and leave the threat in my yard untill then RIGHT? There is never an acceptable reason to break a game law they are there for a reason after all.

This is one reason I say I obey most game laws not all of them. I'm honest and freely admit the copperheads head was removed from it's body and it went into the outside wood burner to avoid having the kids get bit by the dead snake that's mouth was still working just fine. Figure if a opossum cop wants to have any problems with me over that well....

Nope just trying to get you to admit some game laws are ment to be broken. Or should be over looked when they are. But I see that is likely beyond your ability. The law is the law and all. Just doing my job I see.

No need to ask permission I protect my family when it needs to be done see my edit

You certainly don't need my permission.

Your wrong on your opinion not matter it does to those like myself that respect you and value your opinion and decades of experience. I greatly respect our conservation officers and law enforcement.
That doesn't mean I agree with or like when I here them with the the law is the law, get the law changed, I'm just doing my job. It would be nice to hear a simple yes there are times and exceptions where the law is ok to break.

Figured a venomous snake in my yard the kids found and the youngest 7 at the time was going to catch before his 9 year old brother stopped him saying I think that may ba a bad one let's get mom would be an easy common sense example where you may be able to even halfway admit ya illegal or not I would have killed that snake.
But instead it's deflected to call your Indiana CO. And the inability to do something so simple blows my mind.

PF,
You and I, and many others on here, know good and well why you posted what you did.

No matter how I answered you it would have been the same response from you. Let's gouge at the ol'GW on here....lol.

I'm an old coon....and I've played word games with jackasses for nearly 30 years. I call it like I see it....and try to present facts or ask questions if I don't know.

If you don't like my opinions and posts...then don't reply or add to them.

It'll be a lot less stressful on you that way.

Oh...this is a dead rattlesnake post...in Georgia!

And this is the perfect example of nope can't make a simple answer o yes I would have no issue breaking that law and Killing that snake. No idea why that's so difficult and switch to it must be taking a shot at the old GW cause if you don't agree with a few lawy you must hate game wardens. It's far from the case.

No worries it's as I expected I won't post again. Just realized law enforcement has a victim mentality at times.

No victim here. Seems to me like your playing victim or want to be one really bad. There are no simple answers to folks like yourself. You'd pick anything I present apart like a buzzard trying to tear into some guts.

I remember some of your posts from a few years back. When did you start respecting game wardens and/or even liking GWs? You sure didn't seem to back then. I'm glad you changed amd came back from the dark side.

No reason we can't have some common ground. We both trap and hunt, and have sons that do also. You have your opinions...you don't need mine.

Btw...I learned some stuff from your post about suppressors a week or so ago. Good info...as I'm about to purchase one for my 300 BO.

I agree PF.
I don't like when Law Enforcement Officers chime in on forums. .

There are MANY TIMES in thier careers that ( for what ever reason) they look the other way .
However, that's common with most professions.
SW, I admire you, always have but lately, you have become your own worst enemy. .

Did you carry radar gun in your truck?
Let's see how honest you are.
