Wow! I've never seen a rattle snake before! But once when I was little at a family camp my dad and I were going to go canoeing and he filpped the canoe over and a huge snake filled the whole canoe it took my dad and 2 other guys to get it out of there cause it didn't want to leave! : )

Wow, that guy is huge! My dad and Uncle Dave once killed a smaller one (since it was so close to the house and we had little ones around...) and the used a shovel to kill it as well. We cooked it and ate it afterwards. :)
