Will TPWD end the "gassing" of ratlesnake dens?

Catching them is one thing, gassing them is something completely different. Totally against it.

Have you ever gassed a den? People don't understand how it works. You don't pour gas down a hole. You put a very small amount in a pressure sprayer, pump it up, turn upside down and spray fumes in the den.

Not at all what people make it out to be.

lol well my statement was correct, I was thinking Rabbits were game animals.

Good question. I'm going to assume it's legal right now then.

A lot of part time snake hunters do not know its done this way and spray fuel into the hole/den. But if the word gets out that pouring gasoline into a snake den kills the snakes and ruins the den, look out water table.

Gassing will keep them out of your sleeping bag and make your buddies cry. (:
