    My buddy had one on his deck the other night; he went out to feed his dog, but turned around to grab a flashlight, and was quite glad he did.

    Never seen a rattler in a tree like that. Mother Nature is full of surprises!

    It's apparent others didn't read the link before commenting.

    A lot of folks actually thought Audubon didn't know anything about birds when he painted a picture of a rattlesnake with mockingbirds giving it hell up in a bush. Maybe it was raiding a nest. Folks said that rattlesnakes did not climb trees. Audubon later proved them wrong somehow.
    It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.

    Was thinking the same. It looks like its clearly in someone's yard. Why is he so worried about what is going on in their yard.

    Tax payer money wasted again on fake and unnecessary call. Bet they dialed 911 too.

    If you see a snake, call animal control or a wildlife specialist.

    The societal road to effete helplessness and the total loss of any semblance of self reliance is complete.

    When I was a kid I had a big rubber cottonmouth. It eventually broke in half when I was outside on day and for some reason I decided to leave it around the base of a maple in the back yard. I looked out the window a few days later and saw my dad out back with a shovel. He must have stood there for 20 minutes examining it before he finally got up the nerve to poke it with that shovel.

    He was pissed off when he figured out it was a toy.

    I'll one up that.

    I had a semi-realistic rubber snake that got torn to shreds by my momma, for...well...scaring her with it. Mailbox, purse, underneath the car door...

    Well, I took my pieces to the garden, and wrapped them around a head of cabbage, at the base looking as real as possible.

    She demolished a half the hill of cabbage, and some cucumber vines raining a hoe down on up on the bits and pieces of my rubber snake.

    When she realized she had been duped, (again) she took in after me with that hoe. I didnt realize momma could move that fast.

    Half the folks on this site would have shot the thing on site. I would have loved to see that too.

    The worst but cutting I ever got was from hanging a dead rat snake on the door of my dads truck while he was napping in it. He says he hates all five kinds of snakes: big ones, little ones, live ones, dead ones, and rubber ones.
