My uncle and cousin actually had a run in with a ratler in Martinsburg, PA.

I don't really know the full story behind it but I believe they were walking in(or out, I dont know) and they stopped to rest and then next thing they knew there was a rattler right infront of my uncle. My cousin smashed its head in with a rock and they got out of there.

My uncle said he was scared ****less lol..
