You are absolutely correct ArmyWife. We searched and searched until we found it and that article said it was caught in Texas in 2004.

Good call! Now I get to inform my mother-in-law. LOL!

My Maternal Grandfather died three weeks before I was born in 1946. He homesteaded in NW Kansas in the late 1800's. Over the years he killed a lot of rattlesnakes mainly because he plowed with horses until he quit farming. Each time he killed one he would cut off the buttons and put them in one of the old wooden cheese boxes he had. One of the snakes he killed had 33 buttons. Most of these were probably prairie rattlers though and they would never get to the size of the 89 pounder in the picture.

I was stringing pipe on a pipeline project near Sonora, TX on New Year's day in 1976. When crossing a cattle guard leading into the pasture where I was to meet the unloading crew I saw a dead rattlesnake thrown across a six wire barbed wire fence. The snake was almost touching the ground on both ends. Of course when snakes die the muscles relax and they grow longer. The foreman of the unloading crew had lived in the area all his life and he said it was the biggest rattler he had ever seen. I told the foreman I would not be getting out of the truck to undo the chains and binders. He just laughed and said not to worry, he would have the crazy hand that killed the rattler do it for me. I sure felt good when I got far enough North to see snow on the ground.
