You are correct. I was born in Oregon and hunted there. I live outside Sacramento where they have killed so many of the rattling rattle snakes that the ones that are left are quiet. Now you want to take Aerojets property. After dumping rocket fuel in our water supply, they imported thousands or snakes from all over. They just had to be rattling. We had a Mojave green cross canal to our plant.

Maybe I failed to mention I've also been handling rattlers at the local roundup's for close to 30 years and have been catching and selling them beyond that. We also have Mojaves here in the Western part of Texas where I live but the Diamondbacks rule the roost. I've been bitten 4 times over all these years and the Mojave from the Big bend area was the least damaging. A big Diamondback does allot of tissue damage unlike the Mohave which also has a neurotoxin.

A Rattlers first line of defense is to rattle and if threatend they’ll do it every time.
