re: Got a good one on cam

To the posters saying killing snakes for no reason and to the others saying at least rattlers alert you before striking unlike cottonmouths..

Last week I watched a Louisiana outdoor show featuring Captain Eric Dumas. Apparently he also is a licensed nuisance animal remover. While out at the old 6 flags in NO changing rattlers he commented that rattle snakes around here no longer rattle as an alert. He states with the increase hog population rattle snakes are rattling less or not at all when alerted to something nearby. Hogs apparently love snakes and snakes have started to adapt to avoid being prey to hogs.
