Here at my house, both pretty big ones. Both relocated to a safer area. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/06/full-20641-190309-20190611_183448.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/06/full-20641-190310-20190611_185025.jpg)

I understand wanting to move them but am curious about a couple of points. How far do they have to be moved to prevent them from returning and at what point do you determine there is an over population and start reducing the numbers?

I relocate them about 3 miles, where I move them, they won't be coming back. I relocate all rattlers that are around my compound, the ones on the ranch I leave alone.

Two today....Two dozen next year. I usually relocate 8-16 out of my compound area each year. Those two yesterday made it 7 so far this year. I believe all the rain has them moving more.

Never understood needing to kill them unless it’s necessary. Was raised by my Grandfather. He killed EVERY single snake he saw. He was educated and could tell you what they were down to what family they were in, habitat range, and favored prey. He’d tell me all about them while killing them. Was always strange to me even as a child. He’d say, “I was raised to kill snakes regardless.”
