look what I caught

[smokejunky]

Caught this baby rattler outside of ttraining today . relocated him out of harms way so no one killed him haha.

Neat find! Its a shame many people see those snakes freak out and kill them. Glad you were able to relocate him.

 

[smokejunky]

Yeah haha we almost stepped on it.i guess because it was still early morning and it didnt feel like moving haha.havent seen it since so hopfully he won't be back haha.

Wow hes awesome, great find. I get full growns in my yard a lot, they are very mis-understood. Thanks for re-locating him.

haha smoke junky you are either really stupid or really smart and i cant decide which

 

[dragonfab32]

if i found a rattler id likely kill it just because i wouldnt want people getting hurt especially if it was in the nearby mountains we have they are infested! when u go hiking you can see then if u look hard enough but ive heard of ppl seeing them on a trail and it wouldnt move so they would have to turn back:/ the only way i wouldnt kill it is if it was in the middle of nowhere

hehe incoming comments saying how terrible it is that id kill such a "magnificent creature"

I can totally see both sides of it.
Honestly if it were me by myself, and I am not confident enough to catch and release one!, I could potentially kill it out of fear it would hurt my dogs or cats etc.
that would be my last resort but snake venom is no joke!

ya thats how i feel

 

[dragonfab32]

wait smokejunky are you a soldier?? i can see from your camo pants

[smokejunky]

I could have given it to the pest guys but I like feeling of catching it haha.it was on a training site but our class was out in the woods so hopefully he doesn't decide to come back.

 

[dragonfab32]
