Snake 'A ngling ' Latest Sport; Rattlers Snared With Noose MATADOR, Tex. (UP) Cowboys and town dwellers alike are gutting new thrills this spring from a dan gerous new sport of the rocky ranch country snake angling. The idea circulated northward from the Rio Grande ranchers, past Breckenrldge, in central west Texas, where a "snake hunt" la an annual outing for many citizens. The rug ged brush country of the "Cap Rock" plateau of the high plains furnishes a sport usually not found In snake hunting. Rattlesnakes are the prey and the "rods" are 4-foot length of pipe encircling a stout wire that is fash ioned Into a loop at the bottom end. The "angler" carries the rod, and when he meets a rattler, the wire loop Is slipped over the snake's head. A quick jerk on the other end of the wire, and the rattler Is killed either decapitated or with a broken back. Whereas the Breckenrldge snake hunters customarily go out before the reptiles' winter hlberatlon Is over, the Matador "anglers" find their thrill when the snakes start their spring "run"' the first sallies from their winter homes. The snakes then are extra-vicious, surly and hungry- Th snake anglers find their prey sunning on the rocks or drowsing in shady crevices. Ofttlmes, the anglers use mirrors to reflect sunlight into the ahsdy hiding place. A catch of 100 Is not unusual for a single all day party. A great deal of skill is necessary to approach the furious rattlers and snare them with the 4-foot wire. Experienced hunters prefer to catch the larger snakes because they lack the agility and fight of the younger ones. The sportsmen declare that the drives will continue not only be cause thousands of quatl, plover, small animals and even domestic stock are killed annually by the rep tiles. Bird eggs and young birds In the nest are a regular part of the snake diet, and seriouB inroads are made upon the propagation of game birds.
