I've seen two rattlesnakes in the last week. Last night I was walking my dog after sun down. My dog is walking about 10 feet in front of me when I hear this loud whip-like CRACK! followed by the loudest rattle I've ever heard and my dog jumping like three feet in the air. Scared the crap out of us. Luckily he didn't get bit. It was too dark to go after it, but I've been carrying my 3 iron on walks since I saw one last week. I've killed dozens of bull snakes, copperheads and water moccasins (I lived next to a river in HS) with that club back in IL, but these rattlesnakes are more intense and aggressive than those are. Think I'm going to buy a pellet gun and try to take it out.

gimme a hell yeah!

Wouldn't shooting a rattlesnake with a pellet gun be akin to hitting hulk Hogan with a folding chair? You're just gonna piss it off and probably get hurt?

Snakes are very fragile and I'm a good shot from 20 feet.

Please film this.

Kill them all! I hate snakes. Hate them.

I've lived in this place for two years and have only seen two rattlesnakes (or one, twice) so I can't guarantee this will pay off.
HOWEVER, if I do see another one and I have my gun, I will find a way to juggle my dog's leash, my iPhone and the gun to film it. Or maybe I just start taking walks carrying the gun and wearing a GoPro on a helmet.

If I'm successful, I'll definitely at least get pics. If I stop posting without warning, well, miss my bus.

I made a deal with them long ago that was worked well - I don't bother them, and they don't bother me.

Seriously, put the golf club and pellet guns away. Snakes are good. Leave them alone.
