Rattlesnake Roundup Ends as Winner Hauls Giant to Scale
In Okeene Oklahoma the 13th annual rattlesnake roundup attracted over 35 000 hunters who captured 1664 rattlers. The event featured a weighing of trapped snakes on a scale as spectators watched in fear when a snake slipped from a fork pin. Veteran Russell Strayhorn 47 was bitten on the hand by a rattler but refused serum claiming heat is best. Vern Shipman 17 treated the bite. The winning team members Shipman and Jimmy Davis hauled the giant winner a 68 inch snake weighing 2140 pounds plus a seized trophy totaling many pounds of snakes.
