That is a pretty snake. Me and a buddy were bird hunting the Rosebud Reservation (I think) and one of the dogs pointed. I walked up to the dog, expecting a bird to flush and a prairie rattler raises up and started rattling. I thought thats nice, gonna get me a nice skin. I killed that snake and didnt go ten ft and dog pointed another. We were in an old prairie dog town. It had come an early snow and then melted off and warmed up. There were one to five snakes around every prairie dog burrow. We ended up each carrying a dog under one arm and shotgun in another. A thousand wonders we werent all bit.

Dinner! Brought a couple diamondbacks home from the land of Savell. Very good

Sissies. Snakes are wonders of nature. No hands or feet but they thrive. And they crawl on their belly. I stop and move them off the roads.
