Thats not enough for four people You wouldn't make a belt too?

I watched a buddy of mine chase one of those up a tree in Palo Duro canyon (about the same place that one was caught) a few years ago. Pulled it's head off with a stick. he comes walking back to our camp site with it around his neck and still twitching. Had it's head on the end of the stick and it's mouth was still opening and closing. Measured just over 6'. Rattlesnake is suprisingly good if cooked corectly.

I am afraid I would have had an involuntary cardiac arrest. That gave me the ******* just looking at the picture.

Glad I didn't step on that monster in the brush. I've never seen one that big.

Whats bad is there usually isn't any records of the big ones, because when someone was done stoping them there isn't much left.
