Man that's a nice haul. Snakes give me the heebie jeebies. I have a rat snake that lives around the house. Sometimes find him in the window sill or on the front porch. he's a solid 5'er. Figure he keeps mice out of the house, but I'll walk all the way around the house and go thru the back door if he's on the front porch, rather than go thru the front door. I don't like being that close to them. Do like putting skins on bows though  ;)

Nice bunch of snakes,Being an ex-chef, I would love to get my hands on some rattler to cook,never tried it. Dana, I have a 4 foot pine snake skin that I got from a friend in my freezer as we speak, ironically I'm doing a bow for his daughter and so it will go on her bow, I'm gonna make the one skin work so I don't have to kill another snake, Had a good size one in the middle of my street in town at night last year, I thought about killing it, instead my son and I picked it up, took it to my back yard(wooded)and let it go, didn't have the heart to kill it. I can't judge people who kill rattlers, they are dangerous, pine snakes on the other hand aren't a threat here. Plus, in Michigan you can't sell them, so if they go on a bow it can't be sold(the bow I'm making is a gift) sales of animal parts in Michigan is a no no.

Ah ya got me wrong guys! I don't want them all killed I just have a phobia where snakes come into the picture. Was on an archy. dig on the Snake river in Oregon back around 1994 and ended up running into around 6 rattlers in 10 minutes. After that I have always had a phobia where snakes are concerned. Especially the poisonous ones!

I don't much care for snakes... cause with my eyes, they all look like branches till I'm practically stepping on them ;) (and it is another story when you run around everywhere barefoot :o). Couldn't bring myself to kill them though- too many accidents with the trucks on little ring snakes :'(. Them and gardner snakes are cool little critters. Like chipmunks :).

jamie:
mmm good eaten.
