There's no real point in messing with a rattler "out in the boonies". They're just doing their thing, which is mostly eating mice. The only time I bothered a rattler while hunting was when one decided he wanted the dove I had just shot--it fell darned on top of him. Well, he shouldn't have taken a fang to a gunfight...

Since there is generally more mouse-habitat around rural houses or barns, that's the more likely area to have unwanted company. Around the house area is about the only place I "casually" ruin Mr. Snake's day.

FWIW, Art
