[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 217850, member: 810"] When the in-laws get them in the yard they invite us to come and get 'em. Or in the fall when ya travel those gravel roads down there in the sunset hours, you may see them on the gravel roads warming themselves. Seen many within an hour and a half southwest of Bismarck. We harvested 21 one day when they were the worst. Brother-in-law crawled under the disc to work on it and one was under there. Luck on his side. But he did make the call and all us deer hunters that hunt his land went down there and raided the dens along the banks of the river. Nothing really big; six or seven rattles the biggest. Imagine a bunch of guys, one or two with .22 or .410, I went in with camera only, one with a grain shovel (to keep them from crawling back into the den), one with a hoe with sickle welded to the hoe (to cut head off), guys with stove pipes taped to their legs (snake boots). It can be crazy. I'll tell ya this for a fact. Nothing gets the adrenaline going more than to hear them rattle and not be able to spot them. Ya lock up just like a pointer until someone can get sight of them. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Oh! and how to kill them if you spot them on the gravel road?? It usually isn't good enough just to run them over. When you figure you are about to run them over with the vehicle you are driving, lock up the brakes. That usually does 'em in and hope you don't wreck the rattle if that is what you are after. [/QUOTE]
