Hi Brett, we only have timber rattlers and copperheads here. not enough water for moccasins.

Terry, someone sent me that pic some time ago as well. Also, a monster from the Carolina's someone sent. (attached)

My uncle in Boca, Fla. hit a rattler in the road years ago .. over 9' long.

btw .. the chili came out quite good.

Yeah, that snake is pretty popular. Same guy with the same snake standing in front of the same buildings, "right here in Tennessee in the next county over". I told my wife when I seen it.....That's a fake. It just kinda stuck me as odd the way the guy is holding up that heavy snake. His stance is as if it were something not nearly as heavy. Not sure that little do-dad hes got would even hold up that snake without breaking, also. If you zoom really close in to see the pixels, it looks as if the pixels are from two separate photos, indicating a photochop. I have no doubt the snake is real, just not as it's being portrayed. I seen one timber rattler here that looked to be as thick as a baseball bat. He was coiled up, and I did not dare try to stretch him out and lay a ruler down :)

I see what you mean Sam, looks a little goofy in several places. Also probably used a Fishermans camera (makes a bass look bigger than it is if you hold it towards the camera)

Taped up gators and a tape measure don't lie tho.
Take a look at Terry's neighbor here. I bet he could take that hog from the other one. Then again, it might be the same guy (or gal).

Hi Jeff, from reply#10 ......
btw .. the chili came out quite good.

The season is about over here, getting cool now.
Anxious to try a different recipe next year.
Thanks for your concern.  :)
