A pic I took outside my house. They camouflage real good, so that makes it kinda hard but I think I became pretty good at spotting them.

Always have another person with you to handle them, you'll be less likely to get bit.

Pin their heads down with one of these, distance means no bite, then have someone grab its tail and then you get a burlap sack or something to put them in

I have something like this that's 3 feet long, would it work? How far do these things fucking jump anyways?

>>737301130
Another thing you could do is get one if those grabber things old people use to reach shit, when the snake is pinned with the rake, person two grabs the head with the grabber, and the tail and then person one opens the sack and in it goes

Great minds think alike

>>737301316
I'd like to think I have a great mind. But then I come up with ideas like catching the deadliest snake in the US for some quick cash.

>>737301261
They can strike pretty far, but as long as you pin their heads they aint gonna strike shit.

As a precaution, call your local hospitals and ask if they have anti-venom, just in case

>>737301387
People do dumber shit for cash.

>>737301474
True.

>>737301474
It also should be obvious, but wear long pants. And if you're gonna be fuckin around with rattlers, google search for snake bite proof gloves

Side question, about how many snake skins you guys think it would take to make a snake leather jacket? If I'm going to be the new snake hunter in town, I want to have a trophy.

>>737301261
I have caught lots of rattlers in Florida. Here is my advice.

Have a friend help. Worse case to suck out the poison and get you to the hospital.

Rattle snakes can strike about 2/3rds of their body length. A 6 footer can strike out four feet.

The rattler will coil before it strikes, like a rope laid out in a circle. Likely shaking it's tail rattles as a warning. They can also bite from close-up without coiling.

Use that pick-up thing or something to secure it to the ground behind the head. Grip it firmly just behind the head and then about 2/3rds down toward its tail. Be ready, it will twist violently in an effort to escape.

Put the snake in a burlap type bag. Something so it can breathe, not plastic. Tie the top closed. Don't leave the snake in the bag exposed too long to the sun.

Good luck.

I need a sidekick to compliment my badass endeavor now. I live in New Mexico, I'm thinking maybe I find a silent, mean mugging Native American sidekick I'm going to call Squanto even though his name is Bill or something.

>>737302387
He rides a paint horse and every time you ask him something he slowly turns and gazes upon the horizon and an eagle screech can be heard in the distance

>>737302500

I live in the Southwest. And also hawk screeches are way more badass than that push bald eagle cry.

Not all decked out like that, but Squanto would have long luscious hair, with the feather of the great and mighty condor that's been passed down for generations to the children of Chief Whispering Winds being the only decoration.
His outfit would be made out of snake leather too, cause we ain't fucking around.

>>737303261
Wrong Indian. That's 7/11, not casino Indians.

I'd advise against this

My neighbor when I was a kid tried to catch one and put it in a box. It's not like snaring a mammal or something, the snake is 100% flexible and will find it's way out of a situation if it really wants to. They don't just go limp. My neighbor got bit on his midsection, received anti-venom within 30-40 minutes and still had a nice hole/dent left in his body

Not worth it.

It's too late. I've talked myself into making a snake leather outfit now.

>>737304107
you gotta go to the reservation dressed like that and tell them about your quest

>>737300771
Dude I REALLY don't recommend you try catching them to make money. You need a team to do that.

>>737305202
I'll just tempt one of them with some meth or something. Them Native fellows sure love the white man's crystal.

>>737305636
Yeah, me and Squanto. Haven't you been keeping up with the thread?

>>737305681
Oh good well make sure you get some good snake gear.

Never understood why people don't just shoot them from afar. Does that spoil the meat or something?

>>737305766
I mean, you can shoot them but when the bullets hit them, wherever it hits the bullet kinda like makes it explode there either ripping the snake in half or blowing a huge hole into ruining the meat and leather.

>>737305934
Makes sense but I was thinking about using a BB gun with steel bullets or a .22 in the head.

>best sidekick

>>737306023
Surprisingly, BB guns are useless against rattlesnakes. They're tough little critters. I mean you could take one of its eyes out but a BB gun would only succeed in pissing it off.
And same thing with the .22, you'll leave a hole in the snake. Unless you only want to kill it and eat it, instead of having it as a trophy.

>>737306358
I see. I figure thats why they pay for them.

I wouldn't mind building my own jacket out of rattlesnakes my group killed. Sounds badass as hell man.

Best of luck and don't get bit man. Fuck rattlesnake bitchass niggers. I hate them too.

Awful idea unless you have someone experienced with you
I own a ball python which is slow as shit 99% of the time, even when it doesn't want to be handled its a slow moving snake. The 1% of the time she's lighting fast is when she strikes, snake's are stupid fast and if you are in range and it decides to bite you you're going to get bit no questions asked. That's a fucking ball python too, a big slow girl, I can't imagine how fast a rattler would be.
Look up videos of snakes bitting shit, so that you can get an idea of how fast they are.
I can see you becoming over confident when you see it slither away and thinking "oh they're really slow" only to get bit when the snake decided to use some chakra and ninja your ass.

>>737302159
This guy is retarded, sucking out venom does nothing except endanger the idiot doing the sucking. Also, duck a burlap sack- use a pillowcase. Just tie the top in a knot after you drop the snake in, it's breathable and there's no chance of escape.

>>737302387
magic mushrooms are legal to grow in New Mexico, so why would you catch snakes when you could be shroomng it up in your house with the a/c on?

>>737306481
the crocodile hunter says they make great pets and there's absolutely no danger because the rarely bite, rattlers are actually docile for a venomous snake
the love a nice bath and chew toys are great for them to nibble on

>>737306585
then slam that fucker on the floor like a sack a mashed potatoes

Best way to hunt snake is with acid spray.

Spray from 10ft away, also you can combine it with pepper spray for bonus points.

Then finish with lemon juice spray.

>Also, I'm not hiring professionals to get rid of them.

That's you're first mistake.

You are not a herpetologist and don't know what you're doing, so don't try to handles them or capture them or even kill them.


Hypothetically speaking though, if it's sitting around your mailbox or something and you really need that mail, you're gonna wanna make sure you are wearing thick gloves and thick boots. Their fangs are really fucking long and will go right through jeans and even most garden gloves.

You will want a cloth sack and a loooooong and sturdy stick with some kind of hook or surface that you can manipulated it with or pin it down with. Pin it down from the back of the head so it can't strike you.

It's worth mentioning at this point that they can bite you from a LONG fucking way away. Like surprisingly long, don't let your guard down.

But yeah, pin their head down, scoop them up into the sack (I forgot to mention it's preferable to have a bag with a drawstring) and pull it shut. Do not handle the bag directly, they can bite you through it. hold it by the string or by something else and put it in a plastic tote to transport it.

I'm in arizona as well, actually dealt with 4 of the bastards. One was dealt with with a shovel but it was winter so it didn't want to move much, one with my .40, one with a 20 gauge, and the last with a sword as got it pinned on the driveway and didn't wanna go to the shed so just grabbed a sword and stabbed the head followed by cutting it off. Unless it is pinned very well and I have to deal with one of those bastards I'm using a firearm

>>737300771
Hey man, no offense, but you sound pretty dumb. I've never dealt with rattle snakes, but I've dealt with bothrops asper, which is one of the deadliest snakes of America(the whole Continent), and other costarrican snakes, and I can't tell behaviour trades with them. If you have no experience, please leave it to someone who at least knows about it a bit, rattle snakes are unpredictable as far as I know, but you might get comfortable with catching them until you start making dumb shit and showing off. That's when you'll die. Leave it to an experienced person, to offer your help and show your interest to learn. I'm speaking from the heart.

OP here. What people aren't understanding is that Squanto and I ain't playing games my dudes.
Squanto comes from a long lineage of proud Navajo Indians, so we'll traverse the desert with ease and any obstacle the desert has will be avoided as well.

Also, was out for a walk and look at what I stumbled across again. I fucking hate these things.
