I'm guessing you've never had a dog get bit by a rattlesnake?

the only place I relocate one to is hell.


There are plenty of NV snakes to take care of rodent problems!


High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

You do it your way and I'll do it my way.

I would agree, but having young grandkids around frequently, they meet their maker. I truly respect the NV ones and leave them alone ... the grandkids take priority here.

ive killed more than my share but have mostly started giving them a pass. I now have a small rattler living under my trailer house in the country. I’ve seen it several times when I’ve gone to turn on the water. I won’t bother it. When I have no mice it means I have a snake. Gotta admit that it has caused me to jump sideways a couple of times. And, Due to way too many pigs,I’m running out of snakes. I like snakes more than pigs. Pigs muddy tanks and root up my pastures.

Grandsons recently caught about 20 small pigs in a trap. That might take a little pressure off the snakes.


Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley, Rancher Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP

I've been hunting my place over 10 years and it's overrun with hogs off and on, and I've only seen two snakes in that 10 years.
Hogs don't bite, and they usually run away from me, as for snakes that's another story.

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.
