well this mofo was killed in pontotoc county. a friend of mine had it on their facebook page and i thought i would share it. it was over 10ft long and weighed 120 pounds. they caught a picture of it on a trail camera and hunted that dude down. looks like they might have used a shotgun. either way i dont think those boots he was wearing would have done any good.

Well, we've already had a thread addressing guns and alcohol. Now your friends have gone and mixed in 10ft, 120lb rattlesnakes. Guns, and beer, and snakes; oh my!

Can't be Pontotoc....this is a dry county.

That poor snake been killed in 4 different states. I've got that pic in about 3 different emails, one says GA, one says FL, and the other says AL......now somebody done killed it in Pontotoc county......I dont think we have Eastern Diamond backs this far north and west.

guess you narrowed it down then. how was i supposed to know? its way to dang big of a snake for around here.......period.

like i said it was on a friends profile they posted it. i was just reposting the picture they had.

the day I see a 10ft 120lb rattler, that's when I'll believe it.

Anyone can hold a 5ft snake on a 6ft pole up to the camera and make it look enormous compared to the guy holding him.

you got to be a "man" to hold a 120lbs up on the end of a 5 ft pool like that

Hehehe!!!
I've seen it in about 4 other emails in the last month too! Yea, we have em' this far west but I don't think that far north... Saw 3 road killed about a week 1/2 ago next to the house while the temps were up. One was bout 6ft and 13lbs. (Big sucka!)

Photoshop is a wonderful tool.

I don't believe it was photo shopped. He's holding the stick straight out so as to be about 4ft closer to the camera than he is. Ol fish picture trick...
I have no doubt that sucker is about a 7 to 8 footer and 20 pounds though...

It was killed in GA. The article was in the September Georgia Outdoor News. It's 6 ft +. Still too dang big!

It never rattled...just reared up out of the grass to get a look at who was bothering it.

crow

If that thing is 8 feet long then he wouldn't need to do the "fish trick".

Looks like it has two tails

I killed one of them suckers last year. was 6 foot long, only had 6 rattles and a button. weighed at least 20. that ole dude bout took me out before i even knew he was there. needless to say i need new drawers, socks, and jeans.
