[RC] [Guest] "I can't get the rattlesnakes out of my pasture" - Ridecamp Guest

Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx

 Yes you can.Shoot them.What is your point in taking that chance with your
horses,dogs,friends,etc?You don't have "hundreds" of them,and rattlesnakes
are not really "travelers".Those ones you are seeing are probably pretty
much the same ones,over and over,and they have a den site very nearby.I am
not a snake-hater.I like having non-venemous ones near the house,but if I
have a venemous one near the house or barn,it dies.Out away from "my"
turf,all snakes are safe from me.The gentleman who posted earlier mentioned
fatalities to his horses.It does happen,and it is relatively common for dogs
to have fatal bites.My Chico sure doesn't ignore snakes.Smart boy.
