Timber Rattlesnakes are fantastic creatures, that every year we work our tails off to find, photograph, and videotape to share with the public. These snakes are magnificent and we have gained more knowledge and respect for these creatures over the past three years than we ever would have imagined.
Awesome video! My 9 year old watched this and tanned his first rattlesnake. Only issue he has is the scales are pulling off very easily after we oiled it. Any suggestions?
Where were you able to to find the glycerin you used to tan the skin? I’ve been looking online and am having a hard time finding pure glycerin, I just got a good sized rattlesnake last night, it’s in the freezer now but I’m gonna skin him in a few days and wanna make sure I get the glycerin and and rubbing alcohol mixture correct.
@@CentralPaOutdoorsmen I am considering using narrow strips of Velcro down both sides. Don't know yet, but was trying to think of a way to not put holes in it.
I can’t give you a 100% knowledgeable answer but I would say just handle it with caution and wear gloves to avoid getting any kind of fluids from the snake in any cuts in your hands
Can we when we do that sell it to sombady how whil make bage or someting else ? End if we can for how mutch we can sell snake skin if is it like yours ?
I was able to tag my first snake and a copperhead this year. I did my copperhead this same way and I have it just hanging about. Did you do any drying period after it came out of the solution before oiling it again
Congratulations and unfortunately we probably won’t take you up even tho we appreciate the offer. Hope you find someone who can help or use this video to do it yourself
@@CentralPaOutdoorsmen rattle snake “hunters”in PA have worked hard over the years and for a long time were the only advocates for these snakes. Advocating people to not kill them and see them for the docile impressive animal they are. True rattle snake hunters don’t kill them.
@@tannerlamb6501 I kind of see where your coming from also true dog owners don't enslave dogs to do work.You see i cant tell you how to live your life and if I say something is cruel or disgusting that doesn't make it true, subjective opinions are not objective facts. Use your tag however you would like and I will use mine how I like so long as we are bot inside the law its good.
@@jhebenthal that comparison literally doesn’t make any sense. I’m just stating the fact, a true rattle snake hunter worth any respect doesn’t kill the snakes. You can find this to be true on any rattle snake hunting forum. Rattle snake hunting tradition around here has a lot to do with respect, respect for the snakes and respect and a hunter.
@@tannerlamb6501 real rattlesnake hunters don't kill snakes, real deer hunters use archery, real archery is traditional only, real traditional is atlatl. I think our disagreement here is on your subjective definition of "real" I educate people on these wonderful animals and respect them like you wouldn't imagine however just like deer ducks bears turkeys and squirrel I am able to respect them and still dip my toe into the food chain
