Great story Bulldog. Sorry but I would have made that game somehow.I live on 2 2/3 acres in a canyon in Santa Clarita, SoCal.I have had to eradicate rattle snakes off the property every year for the 20+ years I have lived here.Sorry PETA. No one other than by beloved springer spaniel(2X) has ever been bit thank God.There are so many stories of close calls and scary moments of walking right by coiled rattle snakes by me and my kids to write a horror book.I have HUGE rattle snake radar and though I calmly deal with them most of the time they scare the shit out of me every time I encounter one.It is not true that I have frequently been seen running screaming like a girl looking for the shovel.

BTW Bulldog if you don't know who to root for today between Cincy and Pitt root for Pitt. My son played for them in 2004 and 2005.He was the starting PK and was All Big East both years.
