    That is a big snake! I would not hold it. They scare me. Good eating tho. And a damn fine shot to hit it with a .40. I would have to use a shot gun so I could hit while run in the other direction.

    even thou the snake's head was shot off..... the snake was still moving 20min. after it was killed..... it kinda freaked me out when i picked it up for the first time, as it started to slither and move......

    I'm here, just been in the dog house u know. we just don't get are dues at home with the wifes. I did with i had to do to be top dog son-in-law HA HA. I just got lucky to get it with one shoot, as Chupacabra Hunter says I wish we would have keep the skin, I at least keep the rattler. it just got late on us, but as Chupacabra Hunter says it just fun to get the time to spend time at the ranch after a long week at work. and shoot are guns. We just need to do a late night hog hunt.

    I know what you mean by weird. I was doing a necropsy (animal autopsy) on a pig. I had to cut it into chunks to be disposed of and the muscles would twitch as you were cutting them. Freaky as hell, seeing that the animal was very dead. muscle fibers are very resistant to anoxia. Something like 30 minutes or longer. Heck, the GI system still goes through peristasis for a while too.

    Kind of cool, but really creapy.
