Michigan, it's against the law to harm a rattler... endangered species and all that.

Leave it to MI to outlaw killing something that can kill you. ::)

I'm sure other states will donate some if Michigan wants some....

The price of having green grass... Got some friends living outside of Eugene Oregon by some rocky areas. In the summer if it is real dry they will see some in there yards also.

No I did not eat it, I heard it is pretty good. My wife wanted it gone she even made me wash my pocket knife after I used it to cut the rattles off. I am from Illinois so this is a first for me. We have only been here 5 weeks and so far we really like it. We live in what they call Sun City it is one of these Dell Web 55+ communities

We lived in an area prone to rattlers for a spell. We kept a sprinkler going 24-7 moving it around so everything remained wet all the time. Never saw one around the house in all the time we lived there. Saw lots at work though.

That was a little one. I've seen several over 5 feet and a few over 6 out in the South Texas brush when I was still working in it all the time. It's a little nerve racking when you hear one start rattling and you don't know exactly where it is. Especially at night.

I grew up in SW Michigan. When I was in scouts we attended a district jamboree with troops from around our area. The troop next to ours killed a rattle snake, cut off the rattles, skinned it, and boiled it for hours on end. I think they liked telling the story and having exclusive bragging rights, more than they actually cared about eating the meat. We all felt like we were living on the edge with an extra element of danger, just knowing that a rattler could be in our sleeping bag! When we were packing up to go, there was a very small dead snake under the ground cloth where we sat and ate. I don't think it was a rattler, but that didn't stop us from claiming that it must have been one.The eventual rumor that made the rounds was that our scoutmaster probably sat on it (he was a good sized guy). Hope there is some sort of statute of limitations on snake killing in Michigan or our scoutmaster might still be a wanted man!!!

Seen plenty of timber rattlers while trout fishing in southern Minnesota but luckily none have ever shown up in our yard. My wife would make me burn the entire yard with gas if we ever had a rattler show up here. :)

I've lived in Texas now for 47 years, used to hunt around Sweetwater TX. Opening morning of dove season one year we killed 38 rattlers and 2 dove. LOL!!! Sweetwater TX has an annual Rattle snake roundup to get as many live snakes to get the venom for anti-venom. :) They are good to eat but can dry out quickly so you have to watch it on the grill.
