Rattlers Are Movin' And I'm Taken Advantage.

Recommended Posts

Sent my 9 yr old little girl out to fill horse water troughs this afternoon. About 10 minutes later I heard two gun shots in my backyard this afternoon, and ran for the door...found my dad and little girl at the water spicket with a gun...She said she turned on the water, and seen a rattler within 3" of her foot! Snake was between her and getting back to the house so she took off to my dad's behind my house for help, and he shot it...Now it's gonna make a pretty knife sheath, or if I can get some bigger ones it will go into a headstall/breastcollar set to sell. :)

It went from a 16" hide to a 21 1/2" hide when stretched and penned down.

Good story and I'm glad that your daughter didn't get bitten.

That is going to make a very cool looking project. I'll be looking for the finished project.

Thank you :) ...I'll post pictures when I make the headstall. It's not enough for a full set, so I am looking for more now. But, this one is going to be a headstall. lol... I wish the camera would show the colors better. It's so vibrant! A friend of mine said it had just shed it skin.
