From long range. I don't want to get near a rattler unless it's on a plate.

**68bowtie** · 06-21-2023, 12:56 AM

Yeah I didn’t get out of the car lol

I’ve almost stepped on them multiple times, gets your heart rate up…

Yes it does. Like nothing else! I came close to stepping on one rushing back to my truck for a tool trying to finish up work for the day. That rattler wanted to end my day earlier. It was laying across a RR tie step in the last sun of the day. It's a sharp right from the path onto the step. It saw me coming before I saw it. almost there it struck at me but I was out of range. That mouth was wide open and those fangs were exactly 1.247" long! I started really taking my time when walking that path.

The one that was working it's way into my sister's garage in Taos I killed with a maddox. It was close and only thing I saw to use. I chopped it's head off from behind. Adrenaline city! I skun it, tanned the skin, made nuggets, and my sister saved the rattle. She was going to make me a belt and necklace but passed away before that happened.

Here is a picture of me in 1971 holding 2 live rattlesnakes. The only problem is they don't get very big in Iowa. The second and third pictures are of a 4 foot one my brother brought me from Northwestern Alabama.

The one in your right hand is about the size I encountered in my tales. I've seen a garter snake twice in the past week here. Made me jump both times. No, didn't scream like a schoolgirl but I sure did get startled. SNAKE!!!! comes first, harmless comes a bit after

**FleetsidePaul** · 06-21-2023, 11:49 AM

I saw a pretty good sized garter snake in my yard which is just fine with me. But that was about a month ago and I haven't seen him since. He might still be around because I have no mice in my barn.

Thanks for the pic, Leon. I always wondered what a crazy person looked like.

Killer Bee · 06-21-2023, 04:56 PM

note to self - do NOT mess with Leon!

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-21-2023, 05:03 PM

I caught them as a kid, but now I shoot and there's not much to take a pic of. I have experienced two bites, thank goodness they were dry bites. NOT PLEASANT!!!!!!

kingsolver72 · 06-21-2023, 05:40 PM

I run the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail about 6 days a week year round. I start seeing snakes sometime in May. I see a lot of massasauga snakes,at least that’s what I think they are. They’re not very big for a rattlesnake but, running up on one stretched out like a stick always increases my heart rate. The small ones look like twigs. So this time of year every stick on the trail looks like a snake. I’ve seen a few copperheads over the last few years too. I much prefer seeing deer,rabbit,squirrels and turtles.

On the news just last week they said a rattlesnake bite "could" cost you $153,000, and you might survive.

This winter in Englewood fl were i live in the winter there was a big corral snake on the bike path halfway across scared the sh t out of me but what a beautiful snake

**Boog** · 06-21-2023, 06:20 PM

Back in the late 60s I was mowing yards and walked up on a corral snake in a hedge bush. Shook me up so I looked it up in the encyclopedia to be sure what it was. Encyclopedia, remember those? Corral snakes are not common to my part of the country but there was one.

**Stocker** · 06-21-2023, 06:51 PM

One reason I take my morning trail walk at first light is to beat the heat. Also, most of the rattlers are still napping. Or at least moving more slowly.
