Our problem in north GA is Copperheads, mean little bastards!

I spend more time looking for snakes than watching for deer, quail and doves. You just never know. You just hope you hear that buzz at a safe distance.

One more reason to love the north!

You know it's bad when you stop at a Texas rest stop area and there are signs warning you to watch for rattle snakes.

I like when people say "relocate them." This happens mostly with snowbirds who also like to leave food out for the coyotes and javelina. I myself suggest the five step process:
1.) Shoot the hell out of it.
2.) Chop its fricken head off.
3.) Chop it up into pieces.
4.) Burn the pieces.
5.) Bury the ashes.

You forgot "6.) Napalm the hell out of the burial location."

I hear they taste like chicken!

Here in PA you need a permit to kill 1 and you have to sex it and measure it before killing it. My WY guide thought I was pulling his leg.

OK I will play straight man. How do you sex a snake and just how close do you have to be? LOL

I'm not sure about diamond backs but I believe female timber rattlers down here have a light colored stripe running down the middle of their back.

Count scales between anus and rattle, while in a handling tube. Not my cup of tea. They have handlers to move em off pipeline and gas pads during construction.

When I see a rattler( whatever kind) that close I usually turn and run like hell and he or she can see the stripe running down the middle of my back.

They're easy to determine sex after a 3" .410 but I never saw the point
