YIKES! When he rattled it must have sounded like a thunderstorm! That thing is one reason to love New York State!

If Boone and Crockett give you points for a Musk Ox then what the heck they give you for a Rattlesnake like that?

I'm not sure. Snake is hard to work with and especially when burnishing the edges. If I had to guess I'd think the rig would be 200-300 maybe more. I would likely not even attempt it. I had a local customer bring me a snake he killed and wanted me to use it on a holster. He was the one that tanned the skin and it looked bad and there was no way I was using that thing.

Ray, as a former NYer (Cheektowaga) let me remind you that Western NY from Batavia west, is home to the Massasauga, a form of pygmy rattler. The Catskills and Andirondacks harbor both Copperheads and Timber Rattlers. In the 34 years living there, I never saw any of them.

Living in Florida for 27 years and I've seen 2 cottonmouths and 2 pygmy rattlers. They don't want anything to do with humans and will always try to escape. They are potent rodent control.

I did not know any of that! I have seen a lot of garden snakes on Grand Island, but that's all. Thanks for the good lesson Zingbee! ;)

There is a little corner of Indiana that also has the Massasauga rattler, clear up toward Chicago land.

Perspective is a tricky thing. The snake is three or four feet away from the person holding the end of the stick it is hanging from and right up against the camera. It is big, but not that big.

Being the photographer that I am (and I teach perspective control on a big photo forum), I should have noticed that too. Thanks, Mayo.
