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.
