[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 249485, member: 4203"] Yeah rats and mice are so much better to have around :roll: I only kill rattlers that are near the house or barn. Bring in Bull snakes when I find them in the hopes they will stick around and take over what the rattlers were doing. Cows are on their own on the range, - think I have only had one die from a bite in my entire life and I am not even positive that is what killed her. There is some interesting evidence that humans constanly killing the buzzing rattlers are selecting for silent ones. That happened to me last night. Got one pinned with a shovel and had to manuever for a few minutes before I could get a hold of him to do a head-ectomy (he was in some firewood) he never did buzz. 10 segments and some missing. Not that big of a snake though. [/QUOTE]
