Why use a bow or gun...what happened to the old fashioned stick? I have caught many a snake using just that. Here is a pic, granted this one is not of a rattler, but a big ol Idaho gopher(bull) snake. I have no problem catching the pointy ones though, just got to be more careful they dont bite ya!

LMAO ! I want to introduce him to my nieghbor's dachsunds ! He's right at 200 lbs. now and 17 ft. . If it was a female it would be bigger. Female Boa's, Python's and Anacona's get bigger than males. He is mellow as a dog . I have to drag him out of the garage to front yard. He doesn't mind. You can pet it's head and doesn't mind. Most snakes don't like their heads touched. My 2 redtail boa's are same way. Were did the nieghborhood cat's go ...?

Bout a 5 ft. gopher sanke. Nice ! I had a couple 6 footers for a while. Catch a lot of king snakes around my area. 3 different color phases. Lot's of red diamond backs too. I used to catch rattler's while hunting and bring them back to camp and watch all them all run away. LOL !
