We must have a different gene pool here in eastern Colorado of prairie rattlers. I have come upon them ten feet away. They coil then cut the distance in half,coil again and if waiting long enough they are 2-3 feet away. Dove season is always challenging with them abou tand tall weeds/grass. Most aggressive rattler I have come across is the side winder in Nevada.Nasty little buggers


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
