I used to collect timber rattlesnakes for the State of PA. Had a scientific collectors permit.
Me? I'd just watch it
I can't believe you guys are "hunters" and are scared of a snake. Hell, Im more scared of stepping on a nest of hornets, wasps, and cow hornets.
"Cow hornets" about 3 inches long, with bright red and black striped backs. They burrow in the ground, you step on a nest and thousands will pour out.
A snake? bwahahahaha
