WOW!! Heres a good one!I think its the new world record Boone& Crockett Rattler!Anyone know anything about it?Where was it harvested?I heard at the gunshop today...Arizona? I would like to see the preacher handle that one Imagine wakeing up in your sleeping bag and have that joker snugged up to ya looking into your eyes saying "trust in me"

Rumor that it came from a military base west of Salk Lake city, Utah. Not sure if it was the depot in Tooele, or some other base. It cropped up a few years ago but I never got a good confirmation.

Honestly it looks like about a four and a half footer and by holding it out to the camera on the stick it looks far bigger.


My vote is that it is totally BS and a trick of the camera.

This picture has been on the internet for a while now. Last year it was supposed to be from north Texas; kind of looks like it in the pic.

Think about how much a 12 foot snake would weigh, and how easily this guy is holding it out away from himself. I think it's the same reason I seem to have really big thumbs in most of my "trophy" fish pictures...

Yes that is an older photo. The buildings in the back ground look like a oil or oil and gas facility. Tank, compressor station.. My vote would be Texas to.

Looks like Dugway Proving Grounds to me. I heard it was found at a campground in Arizona and that UofA Herptology (sp?) Department has it in formaldehyde.

I got that photo a year or so ago. It said at the time that it came from the Amarillo, Tx area.

It's been in Lolita, TX, too.

looks like a nice pair of boots in the making to me

Doesn't matter where it came from. Another very good reason to live in Alaska. All we have here are snow snakes. You guys can have 'em all.

I had much rather fight the snakes than the mosquitos and noseeums.

You should try Florida; giant eastern diamondbacks, cottonmouths, mosquitoes, alligators and no-see-ums. I'm quite happy to now be living in Colorado.

I killed or witnessed the killing of at least four diamondbacks over 6' while a kid in Florida.

That same snake has made the rounds on various picture backgrounds. Look at the author listed
not sure of its true size or where its from but it probably isnt over 6 feet. all in the camera angle in relation to the snake

Same snake came from the Carolina coast too! God Bless, Louis

The first time I saw that picture was back in 2004 or 2005.

It has passed thru my computer at least a dozen time in the past 2 years alone, resurfaces every 3 month or so.

Somebody changes up the story and re-circulates it.

WAIT-----Isn't That Fraud?????????

Maybe this picture should be moved up to the thread about Capstick being a fraud and give Capstick credit for killing th thing or at least being the PH on the hunt for it????

Looks like the same snake in both photos. Photo shopped the guy in the blue shirt!

I was hunting Yeti in the Himalayas the day that snake was killed and Capstick was the PH with me. So I can say with all certainty the Capstick was not involved with the taking of that snake.

That is a Good One.
