It is an old wives' tale that they will rattle when you get near.
I'm gonna call bullshite here.
The few that I have seen not rattle was in cold temps and one struck the end of my gun barrel. If I had the gun under my left arm I would have gotten bit on the leg.

Call bs if you want but the only rattlers I've seen rattle were poked and prodded or hit with blue paint. see my first post. They usually just lay low. I steped about two inches to the right of the snake in my pic and he never moved. At least until we moved away . He wasn't there when we came back about a half hour later.

One Hot summer day while cruising timber near St. Joe, I stopped to take a compass shot. Right next to me to my right about 3 ft was a huge rattler that made an Ess curve up a swelled butted tree. His head was about waist high and he was looking up the tree like he had hit a squirrel and was waiting for it to fall. Never paid attention to me so I eased away from him and left him alone. Different individuals act differently even in snakes but I never saw an aggressive rattler in 45 plus years in the woods hunting or working.
