Brian, great story and pictures of the snake and hunt. Presently I live in the Santa Barbara area of CA but also have property in CO. A couple of years ago while staying at the CO property in late summer I was working outside and needed to avail myself of the facilities. While relieving myself about 3 feet from a wood pile next to the garage I happened to look down and there on the wood pile was a rattlesnake. I really dislike them and normally they scare the living bejeepers out of me. This time I finished and zipped up, pulled out my Colt .45 ACP and relieved him of his head. I have never eaten snake and I am good with that. My belief is if they don't try to eat me I won't eat them.

Dennis, that would be too much for me. Just seeing a rattler with, well....exposed. Yeah, that would be scary.
Reminds me of an old joke where one buddy suffers a rattler bite on his member while peeing. The other buddy, expected to suck out the venom announces....'man, you gonna die!' Any clay shooting over your neck of the woods? Maybe we could hit the range sometime. I spend time down your way 1/2 the year. Brian |

With apologies to other PGCA members;
Brian, I tried to PM you but couldn't find your information and/or I can't figure out how to do that. I do belong to the Winchester Canyon Gun Club and it does offer Sporting Clays but I have never shot sporting clays. You would be welcome to come say hello or I would be willing to drive to where you are to visit. I will leave in a week to hunt until near the end of November in Colorado and Wyoming so it will be after I get back. It would be a pleasure to meet you. Dennis |

Dennis, I sent a PM.
Mr. SxS. We were wondering if killing a rattler in Calif. might get us in trouble. Crazy when something like that crosses your mind isn't it. My farmer neighbors tell me how nice it was back in the 50's and 60's in California. The farmers with good land had money AND great hunting. The pheasant opener was a hugh local event in many rural communities. The whole family would come out and cars parked a mile in each direction of the Grange or Veterans hall where the pancake breakfasts were served. Kids, hunting, guns, opening day? None of those words go together any longer in Calif. |

Dove Opener
I just noticed the thread. In hot, hot Yuma limited again on opening day and 6 on 2nd day. I didn't take a Parker because I just bought a sweet 410 Huglu SXS. Great fun. (Can't afford a Parker 410.)
