Yeah there’s a zero percent chance any rattle snake gets a pass with my 3 year old nephew running around the camp. That’s under the camp house and we clean deer and BBQ right there.

We will catch the big Texas Indigo’s and let them go but not a rattler.

That’s the 4th or 5th one between 5ft to 6ft we’ve killed there in the yard the last few years.

Got Blaze caught a decent size Indigo a couple hundred yards from there.

No argument from me on that one.

For me personally, I’m more aggravated by people who kill nonvenomous snakes that are simple to identify (like rat snakes or king snakes) rather than taking the time to learn the basics.

ETA: My dad grew up catching venomous, including some big canebrake rattlers. He got me and my brother into catching snakes at age 5 or 6. My mom encouraged our love for snakes as well and let us keep pet snakes in the house. But when I moved to Folsom 2 years ago and started finding cottonmouths on my land, they both wanted me to kill them, not catch them, because my grandkids are here a couple times per week.

I used to hunt Tensas and there are some big Canebrakes Rattlers there. I came across several in the woods and they would be left alone but one in the camp yard gots to go.
