While walking between stands, I met this guy yesterday evening:
Put your boot next to it so we can get a size comparison next time. 
That’s a good looking timber!
My words at the time were not so positive. But you are correct.
That would look great on the back of a self bow!
I hate snakes but that is one cool looking s.o.b.
I've given 6 copperheads to a friend that builds self bows for camo after tanning. Most of the folks that buy his bows, quivers and arrows that are all 1700's/1800's era replicas that are 100 percent natural.
River cane arrows with knapped flint arrowheads kept on with elk Sinue (that I supplied for years), osage orange staffs with Sinue strings. The quivers were built from tanned deer skin.
He made thousands of dollars from each that typically went into offices and such for display. Most probably never made it into the field to kill something. He has killed a canadian black bear and a couple of deer with his personal gear.
I double dog dare you! 
A 357 mag would be legal. But you prolly have to run it thru a Connan pistol to utilize a can.
