You need to find someone with a place on the Red River. Go down in March and walk the bluffs on a sunny day. Friends of mine used to go and get buckets full of them but they haven’t went the last couple years. I think there is a poster or two here from Granfield OK, they might have a lead on a place for you.
If you just want a skin for a guitar strap or a hat band I think I have some in the freezer and I could probably tan one and send it up.

Mowing my hunting spot all day today. Had a pretty EDB crawl away from my tractor as I was doing my thing. I don’t kill em when I see em…..the way I see it, they’re just punching a time clock like we are… So, how about coyotes?

Last thing I need is my kids or dog getting bit. This. They sometimes punch more than holes in a time clock card. If God wanted them to get away, Hed have given them wings or legs i say.

Spouse's family place is on the Red, they have a couple of big dens and plenty of snakes, even some velvet tails. No gassing any more thankfully. Most rattlers get a pass these days.

Haha how close are you to St. Roberts, I have a few spots on Mark Twain Forest I have ran into some. Rattlesnake that is, not the others. Though I did run across a lot of the others in college at Rolla.

About 3 hours.
We used to hunt down around Duke. Not even sure that town is even still there.

Ahh I never got down that far. I was more up by Newburg. Lots of Big woods and plenty of room to roam. I miss turkey hunting all the hills and hollers. Now I hunt swamps outside of Memphis.

What’s a proper gun for snake hunting? I’m thinking a big bore revolver loaded with snake shot but have no idea. 22 pistol w/snake shot is more instantly deadly. The smaller shot gives a better pattern, and is enough. Shorter barrels, to a point, give tighter patterns, for some reason. I have loaded 38 and larger shot shells with #11 shot with excellent results. The late Al Miller did a well researched article on snake loads - what year, I don't remember. A long time back, though.
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

Maybe a non-game or unprotected species. Probably not an invasive species, as coyotes are native wildlife.

I’ve been in Central Missouri most all of my life and have never come across a rattlesnake. One gets killed every now and again so I know they are around. Copperheads are in abundance if that’s your game. I worked a survey crew for the Forest service out of Salem for a couple years. We regularly came across the copper colored bastards, but never a noise maker.
