Does PETA have a NEW snake division :?:Sheri":1enl0buv said:I understand why some fear the venomous snakes in the area, but care must be taken to try and leave them in peace.
Few realize how important they are at controlling the rodent population and what a large role they play in the entire ecosystem.
Responsible ranchers understand the need to try and preserve natural habitat, or at least allow room and respect for native species to continue to flourish despite how we choose to make our living.

Right, I'm going to try to catch a venomous snake that has the potential of killing me with a plastic bucket. And then what? Ship it to you? What are you smoking and why aren't you sharing?

they are easy to manipulate. Just practise a little with the gophers, bulls, corns and kings you find around first.
They are not vicious animals just waiting to kill you. It takes considerable resources to create that venom, they prefer to use it on something they can eat, rather than on defense.
(Which is why some estimate roughly 20% of bites are dry.)
And there is always the snake relocation option as well.
Clearly, I don't expect many in our line of work to give the matter the same consdieration I do, but I figure its worth the attempt. Stranger things have happened.
Campground CattleYou fell and hit your head how long is recovery expected to take. If you lived in country loaded with Timber rattlers you would have a different opinon. The state of Texas says the are endangered you bet your ass they are around here.[/quote said:No there is a man after my own heart. :clap: :clap:

Around here we are our own removal service. Run over them with a vehicle or chop their heads off with a shovel and remove it to the ditch alongside of road.Sheri":2sr21vky said:Just try and remember that there is a removal service available to you, and that education is the key.
