Be safe out there guys! My buddy killed about a 3.5 - 4 foot rattlesnake today on our lease while doing some mowing. Just a reminder when you are out stomping through the woods and brush.
I always try to keep an eye on the ground. Mushrooms, shed antlers, snakes, deer and turkey tracks among other things keep me looking all the time. I don't kill rattlesnakes though. Not in a long time. Never seen one that was even close to aggressive.
