He just refused to die

While out shredding yesterday evening in preparation of the good Lords Holy day of September first I apparently shredded this rattler in half. After completing my chores I was checking on some water I had going and stumbled across the back half of the snake. I looked up and saw the front half crawling away like no big deal. This was at least 10 mins after I got done shredding. When approached the front half was still very much alive and even struck at me a few times. I went ahead and and properly finish off this spawn if satan For perspective this should have been about a 2 and half foot prairie rattler.

Wow! Good job!

That second picture is just creepy

Nice kill.

Crazy

Robo Snake!

Texas tough....

Yep. That’s what nightmares are made of.

Wow

OK Then....

He looked like he had not missed any meals. Good job!

Yep never count them out to quick. Great pictures

Spawn of Satan for sure !!!!

That's cool, Should take it to a taxidermist.

I hope you are taking notes. Next Rattler you find I expect it to look like that when you are done playing with it.

Just a flesh wound! Wow!

Have found large parts of Rattlesnakes in Square Bales (loading them from the field) before....but never anything still alive.

Pretty wild.

Maybe it was on PCP.

Amen.

Not half bad!

Lol
And that is pretty weird. I don't reckon his tail was rattling, was it? That would be extra creepy, lol

LOL!

He'd have/halve to charge you double though....wouldn't he?

Yikes!! Would want to walk up on something like that!!

That makes my testy tickles recede, wow, nice pics!

And now he's a good snake.

Dayum. What if he'd managed to actually survive and recover/heal from that. I'll keep my eyes peeled for half a rattlesnake!
