The TWRA have been releasing copperheads and rattlesnakes in E. TN. for better than 5 years. Said their numbers were too low because of people killing them. It also is illegal to kill, harm or molest them in any way. A good friend of mine killed a 3 foot Diamondback in his driveway a few years ago. I guess I will be a criminal if I come across any in the woods.

Quote from: NONYA
What kind of kook would raise rattlers and release them into public land?I hope you get bit,how would you feel if one of your pets bit a child?


I'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from calling me names when you have nothing to qualify that diagnosis. Thank you for the hoping my health takes a rapid decline. Did I ever say I released them onto PUBLIC LAND?

 People are releasing wolves back into their natural environment, are they KOOKS? How about tigers in India? What makes a reptiles life worth less than that of a mammal? Or, is it that your just plain scared of them, and feel you must kill what you fear? Sad.
Happy holidays

As a matter of fact the people that are releasing wolves back into ranch country are Kooks .Its just another way your Gov. can spend your money. Any time you can get more time in prison for killing a cow killing wolf than you would killing a man, seems to me some one has the patch on the wrong eye. We here in the South West loose a lot of cattle to snake bites Yes Rattle Snakebites. This book has many chapters.  :D .............Joe...........

Any of you guys have any spare snake skins you don't have any use for, I'm looking for a set to go on my longbow limbs.   I don't see too many snakes around here.   That could be cause there aren't any snakes in alaska that aren't in a zoo or somebodys house.  Can't say that I miss them either.

Anyone who releases poisonous snakes into the wild is definetly kooky to me,and those people that were releasing wolves years ago are called federal wildlife biologists and they had about as much sense as you do,thats why ranchers are allowed to shoot them again and soon they will be dellisted so I can.Ill bet you have never lost a $1300 dollar steer or a $3000 dollar horse due to a bite from one of your little "pets" have you?I am so scared of them i make a couple trips every summer to look for them,and kill them,it scares the hell out of me just thinking about it!LOLThere is nothin sad about it i enjoy every rattler I kill!We kill them to protect our stock,pets and children,and around here you would be just as popular as those feds are,you raise them for profit and release the rejects into the wild to polute the native reptiles with your genetic mutations,you are a KOOK!

Hmmm,interesting,kill snakes save snakes...
I used to kill them when ever I saw them,around the home or way out in the field.and any one can do what they want.
I have choosen anymore not to kill snakes when they are out in areas away from folks,towns,homes.I have eaten rattlers and others.pretty good, taste like chicken..I am inclined to believe they do more good alive and out in the wild then dead.and rattlers normally warn ya to stay away.so I just walk around em but normally watch them for a while to try and learn what ever,then go on about my way.
but those dang bushmasters and ferdelances just lay in wait on game trails and strike with out warning..

A HOE!!!
Now if I were to grab one of the local
HOES and try to kill a rattler With her, I would
get My Eyes Scratched out!!!! .... Oh,....
You Mean A Garden Tool......... OOPS.

On a serious note, We have some pretty nasty snakes
here in Georgia. I am not one who believes a snake is a snake.
I am very aware of which ones are the poisonous ones and they are disposed of. But Most snakes I will tollerate because of the other
things like rats and mice that they get rid of for me. Around
where I live, Copperheads are far more numerous than Rattlers.
And as for aggressive qualities, I would put a Copperhead up against a Rattler any day. These things have real attitude problems And I treat
them accordingly. As for what I use, "A riding lawn-mower" because cutting grass is normally when I see Them. We lost a Shitzu(sp) to one last summer and I still hold a grudge ...

I agree with Lawdog and others on this one. We can do without poisonous snakes.
