Frank,
...I used to love the rush from catching and handling hot snakes. I caught this Eastern Diamondback in 1970 right after I graduated from HS. We caught several big rattlers like this one and lots of smaller ones. Many of the Diamondbacks we caught were out crossing roads late in the day. They would be out moving during the last couple of hours of daylight but were not often found after dark. I caught Western Diamondbacks in Texas and they were usually along rocky outcroppings. Up until about 20 years ago Eastern Diamondbacks were common in the areas I had hunted in central Florida and here in south Georgia. I only rarely see them these days. I do still see Canebrakes DOR around here.
Jeff
