i actually had 2 copperheads in the freezer waiting to be skinned but packed in plastic bags and my wife was going through the freezer looking for a 5lb package of smoked sausage ( the sausage was about the same diameter as the snakes) but when she reached into the bag to pull the sausage out.....she got a big suprise! i heard a big scream, then heard her slip and fall on the kitchen floor. that took place right before she started yelling out choice words and telling me to get them dang snakes out of her freezer, LOL

Ya my wife yelled at me, when she opened one of my left over worm containers in the fridge. Thought it was a cottage cheese container.:D
Boy them wifes really love it when you put creepy crawly things in the fridge. LOL

My wife puts HER leftover nightcrawlers in her fridge, right by my left over leeches!!!

I would not get caught selling protected wildlife or parts in Arkansas . It could cost you your rights to hunt and fish here.:eek:

Violation Points

Those babies would look good on the grill. I used to go looking for them on the deer lease in South Texas. They would surely wind up on the grill if I found them trying to share my house with me, my wife and grandkids. That is out of bounds.

thanks for the compliments on the rods guys! the pics dont do the rods justice. those snake overlays have got very popular. probably 90% of the rod orders i get are requesting snake overlays. it turns a rod into artwork and a conversation piece on the boat ramp or while wading a river. also have been doing abalone ( pearl material fron inside a sea shell) overlays that look very cool.

yes in arkansas its illegal to kill any snake, venomous or nonvenonous unless it "pose's a reasonable threat or endangerment to persons." . a reasonable threat would be a snake in your yard but not a snake you see laying out on the side of the road. i have killed several copperheads here at my house because they get up on our porch and lay out and even had one come in the house one time when my son left the door open. we also had 2 snakes fall off from the top of the shop door when sliding it open. one of those times was a copperhead that fell across my wifes shoulder and didnt come off until she had ran close to 40 yards screaming and yelling and the very next day a chicken snake fell off of the door on me. we used to kill a lot of snakes in our barn but i got me a barn cat and it keeps the snakes ran off. we actually probably see more snakes at night in our driveway than we do anywhere else. with a 4 yr old boy , i am gonna kill any snake in my yard.

my rattlesnake skin that i use to overlay on rod blanks comes from out west from a comercial hyde dealer. even if i had rattlesnakes here at my house i would still buy them because i just dont want to handle them. i had 2 copperheads in the freezer that i killed on my front porch and it freaked me out skinning them. dead or alive, i am still scared of them, lol

Creekslick, I grew up in N.E. Louisiana, our backyard was the Bayou Bonne a dee. So dealin with snakes was a part of growin up. With that said, this video should sum it all up...
YouTube - draywanda's Channel Good snake..........

Let's see I have been called ignorant and STUPID(don't appreciate that) for saying a good snake is a dead snake. Well I will tell you this when I see a snake in my yard he will be a good snake because he will be a dead snake. I did not kill the snakes in the picture I got it in an email. I have never seen that many rattlesnakes in my life.

I agree with you creekslick, good snake = dead snake

Meeee Tooooo
