I tell ya what, that's pretty crazy. I'd love to go hunting over there, but I honestly dunno if I could handle the snakes. Long time ago I was out in my front yard when I heard this loud buzzing noise. I sorta figured it was a bee or something, but I went around back to check it out. Turns out my cat was trying to attack a 5 foot long timber rattlesnake right next to our water garden. Well, I hauled back inside, grabbed my shotgun and a handful of buckshot. Proceeded to annihilate two coy, the entire pond, the fountain, and finally the snake. Luckily my cat got out alright. but it was quite a snake. We've only seen 2 timber rattlers up here, but tons of coppers....Arg I hate snakes.
