Something is really bugging me
dragonman:
Thanks for posting this info. I've been considering ordering a snake skin for a bow, I suspected as much but ignored it. I defiately wont but one now. All life forms should be respected even plants and trees. Nothing should be killed unless it is absolutely nessessary.
Pat B:
Thanks for your very informative post, Celt. Lots of good info that many folks probably never thought about.
DCM4:
I always figured the skins looked better on the snakes, but only because I enjoy the nature beauty of a wood or boo backed bow. Good to hear those who do prefer skins do it in a responsible manner. Not surprised.
Good post. Thanks for writing. Obvious you are a zoologist. "Regular" people would have only written a couple of sentences. LOL Just kiddin. You did us a real service.
OldBow:
I'm not offended. I am a retired biology teacher. I always preached that if you don't eat it...don't kill it. The chance of my killing any snake is zero.

I have np problem with a bowyer or tanner harvesting snakes in a responsible manner.I have a big problem with roundups that just amount to slaughter. Rattlers can be aggressive if unknowingly cormered by kids or pets and don't really belong in backyards. We like them on the golf courses as they keep the rodents down. I say just like any other wildlife that humans use we need to be humane and responsible. Better tabs should be kept on thse animals so as to give them protection where needed. Steve
