Post by: buckmaster_wa on June 15, 2009, 09:10:56 AM: As I was walking out of a fishing hole yesterday, My buddy jumped back and screamed like a school girl. About that time I heard the rattle sound. It was a huge rattler. I believe it had 12 or more buttons. I chased it around through the rocks and it disappeared. I had my .45 with me but I never did get a shot off. That one would have been a real trophy.

LOVEMYLABXS, how many rattlers do you find out around your place? I've hiked around that region quite a bit, and only once have I had a close call with one. It started rattling at me as I was walking out of the woods one night in Hawk Creek. I was on a pile of shale and I heard it start rattling.... I retraced my steps and took a very long way around avoiding all rocky areas. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Miles I know there are a lot of rattlers in this are but I normally only see one every couple of years or so but last night I had an even BIGGER one out in my chicken shed but he got away before I could get to the house and back with the pistol. The little one in the pic never rattled but the one last night did. I will be tryin to hunting that one down. Out away from the place fine but near home it's DRD (dead rattler down :chuckle:)

That would scare the crap out of me!

My family has a place down in Lincoln, and luckily only one has been on the property so far. It got it's head chopped off with a shovel. One of our neighbor's said last year was the worst he had ever seen them. He even stepped right over one on accident, didn't see it laying on the steps of his deck!!

Post by: Da stump on June 18, 2009, 02:44:04 PM: A couple of years ago I killed one near Teachermans 20 acres around Porcipine bay. It had 11 buttons and about 5 ft long. Does anyone remember the one in Sully's Loomis tavern. It was stolen years ago but that was a big one :)
