My pup and i were shed hunting friday, about 53 degrees cool. Walking through woods and she stops and starts sniffing around a big log. I see something but think its an armadillo, as i get close i see the stripes. She listened when i told her to get back.

Timber rattlers in OK are protected as long as they are not threatening people or animals.

I have never seen a small or young rattler with 12+ buttons.
So it means something
I am not trying to age it just based on the buttons.

Maybe the most intimidating part is the fact that they are so well camouflaged that it is easy to get that close without seeing them!

Looks big! Rattle is pretty wide all the way up, guessing it's a decent age too!
