Took a trip to the lease

Took a trip to the lease - 03/17/13 02:26 AM

Took a little trip down to Webb Co for the last few days. In between work we managed to get a little play time. Had a good time but it sure is dry down there. Need some rain bad and soon.

Found a nice shed of a up and coming buck:

Ran into the headless variety of rattlesnake. Short on rattles but not too bad on length:

The FoxPro called in a coyote for a buddy of mine:

This cat came right into the call too:

Southtex, You've been hunting down there a while now. I always enjoy looking at your pictures. That Rattler is a BEAST, for sure. Good huntin' in the future.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I do keep the snakes, eat them and keep the skins, so I don't feel like I'm wasting them. If it wouldn't be for the fact that my kids are running around the lease, I probably wouldn't kill them. Over the last couple of years the snake pictured is the smallest one that I have killed.......and I have some big Indigos running around.....I guess they're not efficient as I first thought in getting after the rattlers.

Or I have too many rattlers....

Here's a few from last year, with the exception of the last two, they're all different snakes.

When they are that big it's worth just gutting them, putting a little lime juice and Tony's on them and putting them skin side on the coals. Makes some good nibbling food with a couple of cold ones.

that is the truth. I used to work out of Houma on the ICW and them boys would eat anything. And they could cut a gator down in seconds and have it frying up before you could say I want a piece.

I really miss south texas , but not the buzz tails. We always killed at least one every time we went to any of our places. The worst was in northern Mexico though. We didn't have shotguns or any guns for that matter before the season when we would come down to do work. So we killed them with shovels.
