What could possibly go wrong? No kidding. I don't trust my towel-snapping technique enough to do this (and I'd also never pick up a live rattler like this weirdo). I'd probably short arm it, not snap it's neck, and just whip it back towards my body and get bit in the damn face.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/AvUPi.gif)

Found this guy yesterday sunning in the middle of the drive trail on one of the ranches we service. I found no reason to kill it, so I prompted him off the road and we all lived happily ever after.  Nice
FKH!!!!

If this one was about a foot longer, I would have ate him. As it was, I escorted him off the lease road to get fatter for our next encounter.

Yep he is a bad [censored] until that sucker one day swings around and gets him - then he is running for his truck to find a hospital to save his butt - media makes people do really stupid stuff - the older one gets the more one figures out that sooner or later karma will get you

there was another thread several months ago with that same video ... some people just lack good sense! ....and most of them post videos of themselves on the internet....... That moment you read something and it's just the most no b.s. thing you have ever read but reading it still blows your mind.

A hoe is the weapon of choice for snakes. I have one leaned up permanently on each side of the house.
One of the hands I worked with when I was a kid picked a little one up when it crawled into the shop. He lost an arm and was lucky not to die. The hospital bills were over $30K, 25 years ago. He got fired the day he was released from the hospital.
You couldn't pay me enough to pick up a rattlesnake. Not me. 12 gauge is my weapon of choice.
The Federal Government cannot give anything to anyone, that it has not first taken from someone else.
