Rattles Snakes???

[glock21]

It looks identical to a prarie snake

Has 2 buttons, I heard it could be a Midget Faded RS, but I thought it looked like a Prairie RS. I'll get some better head shots.

Yes prarie rattle snake, they are mean

[glock21]

I was mistaken prarie for gopher snake , my mistake. But yea its a prarie rattler almost sure of it.

I threw the bigger one out of the garage, and it came at me. So I shot him. They are mean, and have a weird rattle sound

Also water during the hot months will attract them. We found many when I was a kid in NM this way. Also I was bit the day before Halloween so don't get cocky if it gets cold.
The little ones cannot control their venom either so be really careful.

We were just talking about,its getting colder so we don't have to worry about snakes

Tauras judge! My buddy lives on "rattlesnake hill" out by hbarleatherneck and after several years he is finally getting the population down. If you can find the dens you can cut them down quick.

I seen one at like 9k feet about 5 years ago archery hunting. It was a cold foggy morning and I stepped out of the truck and stepped on it, was like 5am.

WOW 9K. That is pretty high. Didn't think you would ever see any that high. nights just get to cold up at that Altitude. I guess you never can tell.

That's what we thought. Now I watch for them everywhere even later in the fall. This was like mid september when that happened.

Water always attracted them up in Wyoming growing up. Even though we lived right on the N Platte, they would congregate by our well pits near the river. Little bastards were swarming and swimming in one of the pits one year when our pump went out. That wasn't a lot of fun getting them all out before I got in the pit to replace the pump! I think there were about 10 little ones in there, if I recall correctly. Aggressive little shits too!
