If the Rattle Snakes Are This Big on the AT...

[Blissful]

If I can handle Bubba the large copperhead at my caretaker site this summer, YOU can go take a hike where the rattlesnakes live!

Couple of Quick Questions ATmilkman
1) Do you float?
2) Are you lighter than a duck?

I do float, I'm not lighter than a duck, and I am full of it 90% no make it 50% of the time. Heck my initials are BS, whats that tell ya. (LOL)

Makes it look bigger.

I agree, chief, ... due to perspective, the houses in the background appear much smaller than their actual size, and for the same reason, the man thrusting the snake out on a pole in front of him makes him appear smaller, too. Thus, the snake by comparison seems huge! I still don't understand why the head end of the snake is still S-shaped and not hanging straight down like the tail end.

If you float, are lighter than a duck and left handed you must be a witch! But your heavier than a duck.

We were hiking on the Pinhoti last fall and my better half was within 6" of putting her foot down on a large eastern diamondback, I didn't realize she could be that acrobatic. I normally dont kill snakes but was concerned some hiker behind us might be bitten since the snake was almost impossible to see in the leaves. The 12 rattles and a button made a nice zipper pull. Dont know if the wife will ever return to the trail.
