Hahaha, I thought that looked like some suspect plants. That probably is a guard rattler.Quote:

I don't mind a rattler near bad as I do a cottonmouth, cottonmouth would have died!!Quote:

Got fish, deer, cow, pig and who knows what else in the freezer, didn't need no snake for supper and weren't getting out of the truck and into the woods to chase him down, dude sure blends in, in one of those pics you cant even see him but he's there.Quote:

Said that was the 3rd one in 2 weeks. Had the other ones in the freezer to have a cook out.
what state was this in? someone at work here in Memphis swore up and down they got a rattle snake out from over by the airport. I didn't think they were in west TN or NMS.
The one I posted was in Grenada lake bottom, just on the edge of it. Seen more this summer than I have ever seen before.
Wow. Didn't know that were that close.Quote:
