We have killed 4 in our campyard in NELA.. two different times, we had one laying outon the housepad before we built the camp, just sunning. Once, my dad flipped over a jon boat in the campyard and there wer two wrapped around each other. We have 4 rattlers hanging above the space heater in there, and when the heat is on, they rattle.

my great grandpa's land is notorious for them. in the last 10 years, no one has spent more time on that property than me.

my little brother and cousin go out there one time last year and they kill a 4.5-5' canebrake

I've never seen one in the wild, but was walking out of the woods in the mountains of NC and heard one. Wasn't too eager to go looking for it.

And the size of the Eastern is impressive enough, but look at the rattle - he was a senior citizen.

Rattlesnakes are actually pretty docile snakes. Before I started leaving them alone, I found it is hard to even make them rattle.
It is an old wives' tale that they will rattle when you get near. Last year i stepped about two inches from one and it never moved. I was marking timber and hit him with a spot of blue paint. He STILL didn't rattle. i left him alone. When i went by there about a half hour later, he had moved on.
