One of my younger brothers just killed a timer rattler. I killed one a week ago both about 3 ft. Me a .38 shot shell, him, a Stihl.
Not a fan of killing just for the sake of killing. Were the snakes a threat to you? Were they a threat to anyone else? Or did you just kill them for the sake of killing them so you can post here like a "big" man? I just looked up timber rattlers in KY. This is what I found:
"Timber Rattlesnakes are a true sign of wilderness. In Kentucky, these secretive and nonaggressive animals most frequently occur in areas with low human population densities. Because of their rarity, Timber Rattlesnakes are considered a “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” by Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources."
Somehow I don't think a KY game warden would be thrilled with you admitting that your family killed two of them.
