I have always liked, been interested in and kept snakes, but I have never seen a rattler in the wild. I think it would be cool.

Cool, my A$$ The sound will stop your heart. While you are looking frantically for where it was coming from and how close it is to you and your dog/horse/leg you are also subconciously (sp) looking for the nearest DIEHARD battery to jump start your heart again.
I have come across them too many times in the past 17 years. NO FUN at all. Carry .38 with snake shot loaded when riding. Old heavy gun, but I don't care.
House about 1/2 mile away as crow flies is fairly new and over 5000 sq ft. Full inside swimming pool, etc. Really nice. Have a passle of young kids. They have discovered that house is built on top of rattlesnake den with an underground settlement of rocks. No one quite has the answer for snake eradication as of yet. Kids are not getting to play outside right now. Bummer.
