A buddy of mine had this timber rattler cross the road in front of his house, a unique colored black phase. He’s got grandkids that they babysit quite often and felt the need to eradicate it lest it hang around the homestead and cause trouble. It was a pretty good sized one and kind of a shame he felt the need to kill it but I may have done the same given the circumstances.
It shoulda been skinned, coated, and deep-fried. Thrn it woulda served a good purpose.
