I didn't say there were no rattlers in Boone. I have never been there, but it is hours away from my place.
I meant that there are no rattlers in southern Madison County.
I have lived here 18 years and have never seen a rattler, and local guys who lived here all their lives have never seen one.
I have been told that there are a few rattlers about 40 miles away to the north.
Some of y'all boys like to argue.
I live and work around Marshall, saw 2 Rattlers hanging around my old shop at Petersburg occasionally, one was caught by a buddy of mine and displayed at Coates' Country store in a bottle for a few days before it was kilt. That's about 4 miles from Marshall.
Additionally, some of my acquaintances who live out that way say Doe Branch (about 6 miles north by northwest of Marshall) is eat up with Rattlesnakes.
