They are awesome aren't they? My hubby and his brother killed one like that out in Del Rio, Tx while hunting.

They skinned it and layed out the skin was about 2' across. They cooked up the rest at camp and they said it wasn't bad! I wouldn't know, yuck.

Thanks for the pic!

They will only bite you one time before they slide away. I will catch 1 live and show you they will only bite when cornered. They are a great way to keep rodants away.
