Anyone ran into rattle snakes?

This has been like my fifth time seeing rattle snakes around my spot I was walking back and one was right on my trail good thing I seen him or I would have stepped right on it...

i think rattlers r found in about every state arent they???

lol, damn, i think i'd about shit myself if i saw one..
but i'm a member on another forum and this one member must run into a rattlesnake like once a week or so and is always posting up pix of them and shit.. i think i'd move if i was that close to them, lol, but for reals for reals.. damn oppossums and squirels are bad enough, lol.

idk about every, but they are in more than you'd think.. we even have them in my state, which i about poo'ed my pants when i found that out.. but i think they are more in the pine barrens, not some where where i hang out frequently, thank god..

start going with a walking stick, poking the ground in front of you while walking never hurt anyone, rattlesnakes on the other hand.....yeah lol

Definitley a natural way to keep rippers away lol

I had one in my backyard last year that we caught, and called animal control to come get (alive), and about 2 months ago I was walking around my garden and almost stepped on a baby rattler...Sprayed it with water instead (i don't know why I did this...lol), and went to get a shovel to catch or kill it(was still undecided), and just when I approached it for like the third time, it slithered off...I live on the border of a state park, so it just comes with the territory.

i hope i dont run into rattle snakes, bears, or mountain lions when i go looking for a patch for this year

plenty of these where I come frome.





Some of these too.

Nice, western Diamondback? Cool looking snakes...He looks pissed off.

only rattlers we got is Massasuga's, lil ones about 3-4 ft long...not fatal for a grown human..there kewl lil snakes...i aint seen one in years tho.

i live on 5 acres and the only time ive seen one living in the sacramento area for 12 years is when one CLIMBED THE FUCKING STAIRS to get on the porch and was outside the door like i called it to put its leash on.

Well? Did you put it's leash on and take it for a walk?? What happened man! The suspense it killing me!!!

He was. Seen him in the same spot for the last couple of years now. At least I think it's the same one. The Mojave's are the really pissed of ones and they pack a huge punch.

Damn!

They're definately quite abundant in my area...

I went shooting with my friend up in the mountains a couple weeks ago...

Long story short... 6ft grilled and fried rattlesnake, Delish!

My dad cooked one and 'Had' us all taste it when I was a kid, cross between trout and chicken.
I like them dead...preferably.

Hops

I live in so cal and my spot is in a like rocky mountainous area I've seen some pretty big ones they usally warn me with their rattles but this last time it didn't. It kinda sucks tho cause sometimes they will be right in my trail and I have no way around them I smash a few of them with rocks but I don't wanna always be worrying about these damn snakes every time I go water my plants but whatever gotta deal with it n once the crops done go backto indoors for the winter

thats a mean ass lookin snake I had one that stayed at the same spot the second time I seen him there I threw a rock on him and he hasn't been back since

I was quail hunting a few years ago & heard a 'thump' right behind me like someone had thrown something & it landed right behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see a large rattler re-coiling, it had missed me!

I had a 12ga in my hands!

peace
doublejj

if you dont bother them they wont bother you,and not all rattle snakes rattle anymore due to the fact that most of the time when they rattle something gets hurled at them so they keep quiet and most of the time are not even seen
