When I was in junior high in the 60's, we used to catch diamondbacks. The county would pay you $8 to catch them on farm land. Then we would take them to the university and they would milk the venom and pay another 5 to 10$. Usually you would hear them rattle or see them, they usually leave you alone unless you bother or supprise them. Lether boots are not snake proof.
At the shooting range last fall a large rattler was hiding in one of the shooting stands. He cralled out and over a young man's boot while he was shooting, then went up range.
