No these are timber rattlers.  They did not make a peep I walked in between like 5 of them. Must have been too cold.  I retraced my steps out.

Screw it...I am going to hunt sunday and if I locate the elk near snake den sunday night I will go in early Monday morning.  I am going to buy some snake gators and I will show them.  Pick up some bird shot for the .40 and kill some snakes.

No timber rattlers in WA, they are all the same species.

I'd hunt over it and not worry about the den.  It doubt the elk really worry about it.

So will your .40, just hunt it and let them be. Pretty cool sight I'd bet, just watch for them while accessing through there. Good luck!
Just tend your own and live.

Im sure they have heard it before :)  Is this in the blues by chance?  Never had the luxury of encountering them when I was there, but it looked like a good area for snakes

I don't think you would want to get close enough to a rattler to try and kill it with bird shot through a .40.

 :yike: yeah hate snakes, but if they leave me alone I leave them. Hunt it, but be careful.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
