Rather large and very aggressive rattlesnake. I was doing some assessment work at this gold mine with a few friends and the snake decided it didn't like that very much. I don't usually kill snakes, but figured I'd rather deal with it then than encounter it deeper inside the next day. Two rounds of 2-3/4" 00 solved that problem, we found the head about five feet from the other snake pieces.
