I've killed rattlesnakes many different way but this was a first for me. I got to the ranch after dark and wanted to put out a protein block at the feeder by the barn. While walking to it this guy scared the crap out of me. All I had with me was the protein block so I just threw it on it and to my surprise it did the trick.

I'm not surprised. If you check a few medical web sites you will find that excessive protein can indeed cause death.

Well done. Basic instinct kicked in. Awesome.

That did the trick. Sounds like self defense to me.

We were filling feeders one summer and my ex BIL was walking in front of me carrying a protein block stepped on a big rattler and just chunked the block and tore off running back to the truck. About halfway to the truck he screams "SNAKE!!" My step dad located it pretty quickly and my BIL came back with a Browning High Power. He was shaking so bad I'm still surprised he was able to hit the snake. I still chuckle when I think about him skedaddling back to the truck.
