Talked to my son last night and in the conversation I ask him how many rattlers he had killed so far. He said it had been quite until the last couple weeks and he has killed 6 so far, 2 in the yard and the rest in the barns. They are moving out of their dens in the rocks down to water, which takes them right through the living area of the ranch. The kids can't play in the yard without an adult with them.
