I actually didn't. He roamed free once I left out. Honestly I wouldn't have killed the thing if he had actually broke the skin. I am one of those guys that can't blame the snake for me stomping on him.
Nice shots! I have to say though, the first thing I noticed was the logo. Kind of mars the images - maybe you could fade it some more or put the logo at an angle on the body of the snake so it's less obtrusive.
I heard recently that in areas with lots of hogs, rattlers have stopped rattling since it attracts hogs. Not sure this is true, but on my deer lease there are lots of pigs, and darn few snakes. The few I have seen have been close to the cabin. This includes rattlers, copperheads, and non poisonous snakes. Prior to the hogs, there were lots of snakes of various types.
The lease is east of Davis, OK, and has plenty of pigs. Pigs are pretty mobile, but are there at the moment. We use hog fences to keep them away from deer feeders, which are going to be activated the middle of this month.
I normally carry either a .44 mag or a .454 Casull as a hog gun, and use ground blinds. Have been charged once a few years back, land had an open sights Redhawk in.44 mag. Missed, but scared the hog away.
