Our place is about 30 miles north of Coleman. This article and pictures ran in the Abilene paper and all our local papers last fall. One silent rattler even struck a person in Abilene when he was going into a eating establishment. Vets, game wardens, etc. were warning everyone to beware. With warmer weather coming soon we'll again be in the target zone. I needed this reminder cuz I walk around totally unprotected all the time.
