[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]When my cousin and I were teenagers we caught a 4' timber rattler. We skinned it and were in the process of curing the hide when someone made off with our skin. Never bothered to repeat this scenario. Living at that time in upstate NY rattle snakes were to be found just about any place. By the way 74" in length is a record size in NY. Remember that old motto " Don't tread on me".[/size][/green][/font]
