This shot is from the summer of '86. Pretty sure it was Buddy, Bobby Poole, Wild Man & me on a day trip down to Cape San Blas. This HUGE diamondback crossed the road & I begged everybody to let me catch it. I pulled it's tail to get it to coil & then I worked on it's head a little with the sharp edge of a tire tool but it woke up on the way to Dothan so we had to hear that rattling in the trunk all the way to town. When we got to the Farm, Buddy told me, "Kill it!" I pleaded my case that I wanted to take a picture of it in the morning. Buddy told me he wanted to see that snake's hide when he came to The Farm in the morning & if he didn't see it, he'd have my hide.
