Animal Control only operates inside the city limits here. Barely.

Outside of that area, you’re on your own.

I love snakes. Hate rattlesnakes though. Anything that can kill my kid is something I'll kill right off so F em -kill every damned one and I'm OK with that. All of them. BTW, they make snake shot in .22 that works well.

Encourage king snakes, bull snakes, gopher snakes etc etc and you'll have less rattlers.

This thread hits one of my pet peeves. Fucking idiots who get all aghast when you kill a venomous snake that is a threat to you and yours. It’s not like he is out hunting rattlesnakes. We have copperheads around here. I leave them alone. UNLESS they decide to come up around the house, then fuck them.

If it's a choice between a rattle snake and my dog, the rattle snake is going to lose because I am going to do whatever it takes to dispatch it. Laws be damned.

Our first year in AZ, after it turned hot, there was a 3 footer on the patio.
I had acquired a number of suitable firearms for such a case, but as it turned out, the shovel was the closest and handled the job quite well.

Yup, couple years ago a coral snake decided to pay a visit. It was on the concrete patio, so shooting, with the likelihood of ricochet, did not seem like a good idea. I used a garden hoe to decapitate it.

As the first to respond in this thread in such a way, my apologies, seriously. To clarify, I have no issue whatsoever with killing poisonous snakes - what I said and meant to convey is that snakes needlessly suffer pain unless their brain is squashed (e.g., bullet, shovel, arrow, etc.) - my last childhood years were on a South Carolina property adjacent to a 'preserve' which meant, "swamp" that was adjacent to several streams/rivers...took several water moccasins in various ways, always through the head.

Based upon personal experience, I would never trust a snake shot *dead* with .22 ratshot to be dead, dead.

That has to be a fascinating story.

Don't leave us in suspense …

And no, they don't care if it was in your yard or bothering your dog or whatever. Protected is protected.


Yep. My local as well. 6 or 7 species of rattlers here in my state but only 1 venomous species any where near my home.
