I have a Niece that likes to catch them up in Pa.

My B-I-L and Niece. There is a competition there and she has won the last three years for the largest caught.

I am not a fan of any animal or insect with "no legs" or "too many legs".

“ Sylvester No Shoulders”, used to kill one every year back on farm. Very close to 6 feet long or over as lived near Great Dismal Swamp. Would leave them alone in the woods but if in yard they bit the bullet as kids and dog were there. One time late wife got in car and drove 10 miles to closest grocery store. Said she heard something flopping under car. She went in store but when she came out 5-6 people were standing about 6’ in front of car looking at drivers side wheel. She asked” whats wrong with that car? One told her there was a snake hanging behind tire. She drove home told me and went out to remove snake. Very dead water moccasin that would have been around 4’. Scary as her foot was very close to snake when she got in car. Next week put up fence in woods and bought 3 goats, end of snake issue.

I appreciate snakes for their position in the eco structure, they do keep the vermin down. Rattlesnake tastes good enough that if I was following someone that ran one over I would pull over, throw it in the back of the rig and eat it that evening if not before. It don't taste like chicken but is close with a little fishy flavor thrown in. I tell people its alot like eating crab, the way it flakes off the bone, you end up with a pile of shredded white meat, a little lemon and butter....

I am not a snake guy so I could not tell you what it is but I took this when I was walking over at Waterton Canyon South of Denver. It is a rattle snake of some sort.

I think it was someone on this forum a few years back posted a picture from where they lived. It was a rattlesnake den with hundreds of snakes in it!! I would’ve immediately had a panic attack if I saw it.

Yes I have seen pits of rattle snakes in NV, north of Silver Springs. Yep creepy as hell, but impressive...

I'll trade you a mess of chiggers for a cold spell and 12 inches of snow.

Can you eat chiggers? If so- deal!

Negative, but they can eat you!
