where to get copperhead skins ?

[sonny]

I haven't been able to locate any on-line suppliers of copperhead skins. someone mentioned Pine Hollow Longbows but I contacted him and he replied that he rarely gets them.
 
any of y'all know where I can get a pair ??

Good question, I'd like to have a pair myself. Mike Yancey is the only place I recall seeing them advertised, so if he didn't have 'em, I don't know. I've got a little osage bow in the works that I'd like to put some on, guess I'll have to go out when it warms up and turn over some rocks. I had a friend who got bitten by one last summer and spent a couple weeks with a black balloon-hand. I asked him why he didn't save the skin for me. He wasn't too amused

Add me to the list.  Actually I know where there are a bunch of old mines that western diamond backs winter in.  I need to go see if I can find a few. Besides I have developed a liking for the taste, and my kids have never eaten them.  Justin

I've been wanting copperheads for a shorty bow for a long time. If anyone locates a place to get em, let me know. We have em around here, but the biggest ones I've seen have been 12 - 20 inches. My bows not quite that short. Justin, If you get too many, I'll take some off your hands. I just ordered three more sets from 3 Rivers.... Ouch

They taste good too. I have a couple in the freezer. A friend of mine kills things around his house fairly indiscriminately and saves certain animals for me. Only place I have found.

  I gave up on copperheads,I need some western Diamond Backs.Our Eastern's are too big.Also ,do you think Copperheads are getting scarce because of Bowyers or Global Warming?

[JSU]

Every dog and cat I have has been bit by Copperheads. Those things are mighty aggressive. They will bite a lot quicker than the diamondbacks! I kill a few of them but there isn't enough of them left to back a bow when I'm through with them!! SHOVEL< ROCKS< SHOTGUN

Scotty, maybe I need to come back for a snake haevest to go along with all that wood I got

[Hillbilly]

Eddie, it's Pat and his lawnmower that got 'em all lol.

Persimmon,
I've got a pair on a bow I'm working on, but I'm not really willing to take them off for you...sorry.
We just put the word out for people to save them for us if they run over one, etc. The pair I used had one skin damaged, so I wasn't able to go full length of the bow. Will be posting the bow soon, waiting until its finished. Other work has been getting in the way lately.

i just bought one on ebay for $20.  now i have to find one to match.

[Hillbilly]

Maybe we all need to tie burlap around our legs and go wade through the bushes I've had a couple people bring me dead copperheads, but they usually look like they've been run through a meat grinder after people get done shootin', beatin', and choppin' on 'em.

[sonny]

hey Chris, I'll give you $15.00 for it.
