Yeah pretty sure that was NOT a timber rattler. So I was well within my right to kill him. He's just lucky I didn't decide to eat him too.
Even if it were a timber rattler....if it's near my house....he'll be a headless timber rattler.

Even if it were a timber rattler....if it's near my house....he'll be a headless timber rattler. They have lots of bones but taste quite like chicken.I prefer them deep fried, but whats not good deep fried.
 It's more than the catfish would do.

this is the penalty for killing rattles in texas Let me see if I get this right, its too early in the morning for me but... I just gonna ballpark this so here goes: A person breaks into your house, you kill him you get off A Rattler comes into your backyard, endangering your kids, you kill it, your fined and go to Jail. Hell, Is it just me or did I miss something here, guess I'm going to jail

That's about the way it is. If we'd all get out and vote and get thees POS Liberals out of Austin and DC things just mite change for the good. And if that don't work than I say we all march on Washington and take em all out and start over.
