When I was a member at Del Norte, they told me that any shooting of snakes was verboten, and anyone caught doing so would be disinvited from the club.
It sounds like I'd like your club better. I don't like snakes that can kill me.
I was at a shoot at Del Norte about a month ago. They caught a rattler that was over 5 feet and as big around as my arm. They sell them to a place in Santa Fe that harvests the venom. Apparently they worth about $500 if you have the balls to catch it.
