Finally got me a rattlesnake. From Nevada of all places. Here I am in Deep South Texas surrounded by scrub brush, and can’t find a rattlesnake to save my life. The diamondbacks online have really gotten pricey, in 1996 they were 75$, now a decent skin is 200+. I’ve worked with every permitted skin on the planet, but rattlesnake is Handsdown the coolest I think.

Let’s take off for a week and drive to the ever glades

go hunt a boat load of python 

Lemmie axe you som’n

Dude is gifting me a a 6’ gater

It needs tanning, I am thinking that a gater is a reptile, therefore it can be tanned like a snake.  Wat ju think?

awesome as always!! no diamond backs here but plenty of prairie rattlers. I usually get a few every year just along the road.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

American leather works. Tanning kits. And Springfield leather co too I believe. Follow directions or it’ll be hard as a gator when it’s done.

Thanks bud! I bought some of those prairie rattlers… had to glue them down repeatedly before they would take. Seem to be plentiful up there.

Great knife sheath. It's rattlesnake country where I live but l haven't stumbled on to one in several years and the last was a tiny one with one button, not even big enough for a hat band, so it got to live. We have been in drouth conditions for over 20 years here and all the wild life has suffered and I suppose snakes are included.

I wear cowboy hats and have wanted a rattlesnake skin hat band for years but never having found the right size in the wild and being too cheap to purchase a skin and certainly a ready made one I am still without.
