wow I’m glad you were OK. I guess I’m still fortunate. At 64 I can still out walk a rattler.

I would have moved him.... I figured that you and Dan might disapprove! And that's OK; when I was younger I had rattlesnakes (and others) for pets. Never hesitated to pick them up. Still like and admire them. Just too old to be "moving" them!

You might want to look around and make sure there isn't a den around. Keeping the area clean so that rats and mice don't hang out is also a good idea. Usually removing any food source or trash/brush piles go a long way to keeping them away. Treat the area around your camp with snake repellent helps as well.
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I would have moved him.... You know better than the rest of us, there are plenty of nonvenomous snakes that provide the same services. A hit from thay guy, and your next 2 to 3 weeks have been decided for you. The next 30 minutes had best be driving to the hospital or setting up a lading zone for a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

Technically you are the intruder. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

That close to camp a venomous snake has to die for safety purposes.

Hoping a helo can fly because of storms in the area, or they're not on another call and that the hospital actually does have anti-venom.
