It's curious that you are trying to put yourself forward as one who is law-abiding and environmentally responsible by practicing a 'controlled' harvest by only taking large adults and only taking males (something I find dubious - I keep picturing you probing each rattlesnake as you catch them - but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt). It seems to me that a very good example of hypocrisy would be someone who espouses the aforementioned beliefs yet has released non-native reptiles into his hill-country backyard. Wouldn't that be against the law as well as antithetical to the idea of sustaining populations of wild animals?
