COOSEFAN Report post Posted April 26, 2007 Well I went out by the house after work tonight to try and glass up some of them "floppy-eared" specimens of the deer family.......and didn't glass up a thing! BUT....this dang thing was hangin' out by my truck when i got back! Here's the "AS IT LAY" pic.... And here's the "NOW I'M PISSSSSSSED" pics....... I didn't kill him.......but I thought about it 'cause he NEVER rattled once! Not even when I really messed with him! THAT'S SCARY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimhm Report post Posted April 26, 2007 What do you mean " really messed with him". I bet that wasn't a telephoto lens you were using. Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COOSEFAN Report post Posted April 26, 2007 What spooked me is that I was sitting just a couple feet away from where this snake is, before I got up and walked to a different spot! He was close by the whole time I sat there 'cause I was only gone for about 20 minutes! I also was thankful I was really looking close to that spot as I walked up, checking to make sure I didn't leave anything behind! I got a serious case of the heebie-jeebies.....especially 'cause he never gave a warning and he was obviously very aggressive! I would do alot more glassing/scouting by my house if it weren't for incidents like this one.....almost guarantee to find at least one every time out!

tjhunt2 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 Them are some of the best pictures I've seen of rattlers. I have had some really spooky incounters with these. This is the time of year I spook at every little thing that looks or sounds like one. If you're out and hear a scream, it's just me when another grasshooper flies up from my feet.

youngbuck Report post Posted April 27, 2007 i always wanted to get some pictures like this. Last fall during scouting i had my oppurtunity. I was about a mile and a half from the quad and i almost stepped on a big mojave rattler probably over three feet long. I got my camera out and then thought better of it, my camera has little zoom and he was pretty fired up. Ill just sit here and enjoy ur pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
