    Friend of mine killed 1 a few years back at North Dike WMA. He shot a deer and got down to go look for it. Went to step in woods where the deer went in and almost stepped on it. He said it WAS a grown 1.

    If it were me, I would have left a grown 1 in my pants. He said it was pushing 4 1/2', maybe a little better

    This one was supposedly killed between Lake City and Kingsburg by one of the crews working to widen 378. Seems like this same snake gets killed every year around this time. Whoever does these Photoshop jobs should at least cut the head off the snake and not make it 10+ feet long. Isn't this the one a guy in Georgia killed with an iron while looking for a ball?

    Looks like the tail was the chopped off head before the photoshop job.

    I grew up hunting that area. There are some big cottonmouths on that end of the ashley as well.

    That snake right there is big, but he's pushed out about 6-7ft infront of that fella, trick photography at its finest.

    Haven't seen a EDB on our place in over 30 years until about 3 years ago.
    Last day of quail season and it was a really bad scenario playing out up under a couple of fine English pointers.
    Unfortunately it died and was a huge six footer!

    The biggest one I've ever seen was in a pic taped under the glass counter at the register in Battens years ago.

    We killed a very large one a few years ago at our club in South Georgia. They put a pic of it in the outdoor magazine. It was comical how many times we saw that pic pop back up in emails with crazy stories of it being killed all over the country under ridiculous circumstances.

    I remember a newspaper clipping in the Hardware store in Lake View, showing a pic of a feller in bibs, holding a EDB over his head, and a large portion of the snake was on the dirt. No trick photography.

    I wish I could remember the specifics. It was yellow and brittle 20 years ago.
