Darn, I just turned down a 7 footer yesterday. I told him it was too big for anything I needed.

Mullet! A 7' snake would back 2 bows, 3 if you use the belly skin.
There's no big snakes in BC so I'd never turn one down

Ryan, they are getting pretty scarce down here and when you have to split them they just don't look that good to me. They have huge, diamonds and it doesn't look right split down the middle. And we have so many big snakes to choose from why use belly skins? The largest I ever caught was 8 1/2' long, 23 rattles and a button, and almost 2' at it's widest point skinned out. Snake boots won't help with that one.

Sorry to hijack your thread.

Remind me to keep well away from Florida. Matter of fact I think we should gift it back to Spain. And make a wall, moat, ring of fire, tar pit, shark pit, laser shark pit, scattered Legos in the dark, minefield, line of defenses around it. Snakes that big, and people who sleep soundly at night around them, are a menace to society. Uh uh no way ew.

Thanks Scott. I might be talking to you soon.
I can use two smaller or normal size skins to. But the limbs are thirty two inches long

Hey Dave,  is that for our group project? If so I have a beautiful skin we could use. It's not  a Dimond back,  but a Rattlesnake of some kind,  it was a gift from hunterbob.

Now you're full of "knowledge" to assist with my next project that'll be from hhb.   :o

Cool,  I'm sorry though,  the only Dimond backs I have are smaller. And 3 of them still have the bodies attached!
