A beautiful snake

I’ve heard that TPW has gone as far as hunting down and prosecuting people that have posted timber rattlesnakes that they have killed on social media.

This is 100% true! - If someone sends TPW a pic of you holding a dead timber rattler; you can expect a visit from the game wardens.

I believe that agriculture accidents(plow, hay cutter, lawn mower, ect) are a no fault situation; but I'd still be careful about what you post online.

According to TP&W, they are not on the threatened list any longer. They are still protected from commercial catching/sales.

Very few venomous snakes around here. However if I drive 30 minutes to the south, down by the bluffs and rocks near the river, you can find a few copperheads and rattlesnakes.
