[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1030269, member: 17767"] No, we were on a rancher who had entered an agreement with the State to seal the old mine adit and include a culvert so the snakes would still have access to their den. But when the snakes dispersed in the spring and gathered up in the fall to go back, they crossed a nearby ranch and that guy shot as many as he could. There were empty shotgun hulls all over his place where he had shot snakes. This was back about 1984, so by now if they are still there, I would almost bet they are protected. Most states now have provisions for some degree of protection for rattlesnakes particularly their dens where they hibernate. I remember reading about a place in Illinois where they close a road to allow the rattlesnakes to cross when they are migrating to and from the den near the road. I never kill a snake or any reptile/amphibian for that matter. In fact, it ruins my day if I hit a squirrel on the road. I hit a Cardinal the other day when it flew into the grill of my truck. I didn't like being the cause of that. [/QUOTE]
