EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! :o

When i was growing up in georgia we used to catch them with our bare hands.  One of us would stand just out of striking range and get them to strike, and the other one would go grab them and slide our hands up behind their jaws.   

Wasn't the brightest thing we did but it was a real adrenaline rush. :)
I use a stick now to get them to strike and then hold em down while i grab em.

I've never gone on it personally, always thought it would be fun to do once anyway but never have lol. What I ate another guy brought back.
Me and my sisters used to "go snake huntin" down at the crick by my grandads lol caught a few water moccasins and some bull snakes but that's about it.
Only snake that I don't like is a copperhead and I'll kill em every time. They totally creep me out :p

Back in the late 40's Fred and his Dad killed a rattler - Dad skinned it and I cooked it.  It was tasty!!!
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER....
THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED!

How would you like to be hauling hay (there used to be this thing called a square bale that you had to handle by hand :P) and have a bale come up the loader with rattles sticking out, and they are still rattlin'?  Then you realize the head must have been in the previous bale, which you already have moved and stacked on the truck!!!

My understanding is that a good many snakes could be found in or under corn shocks.


Now that I have mentioned corn shocks, does anyone know what purpose they once served?
"If one of the many corrupt...county-seat contests must be taken by way of illustration, the choice of Howard County, Kansas, is ideal." Dr. Everett Dick, The Sod-House Frontier, 1854-1890.
"One of the most expensive county-seat wars in terms of time and money lost..." Dr. Homer E Socolofsky, KSU

Same as shocking small grains like wheat, oats, and barley; to allow the grain to dry and harden.
