Every few weeks I came across a rattler within 20 feet of the house. I killed every one of those suckers! They ranged from 1 foot to 5 feet. I'd slam the shovel on their head and then chop the head off. I don't care how much people said I shouldn't.....I was protecting my sons. We moved after 4 years because my nerves just couldn't take seeing another rattler. Still live on 2 acres closer to town and haven't seen a rattler. We've had red racers, gopher snakes, rosy boas, and lots of king snakes. Never hurt one of them....love to see them.
