Guys just checking to see if I am the one out to lunch on this. We have a deer lease between Eldorado and Mertzon. We have seen quite a few rattlesnakes on this ranch. Seems as though some of our lease members going up during hunting season and the offseason and see rattlesnakes in and around our camp area where our travel trailers and barn area are located. These lease members do NOT kill these rattlesnakes. As a matter of fact this past weekend two lease members caught a rattlesnake at the camp area that had busted all its rattles off. They took the snake a little ways from camp and turned it loose ALIVE.
My thoughts are if a rattlesnake is in or around the camp area, they are killed immediately. This also goes for the area around my stand and feeders. Away from the camp area its up to the hunter if they want to kill them or let them go and do their thing. We have guys that bring their kids and grandkids to the lease and many of these kids are under 6 years old Most of these kids are city kids and not wise to the dangers of being out in the country. My concern is that a lease member or one of the young uns end up getting bit around the camp area because these lease members are not killing these camp rattlesnakes. I have been bit twice by poisonous snakes so I am more sensitive to this issue than others may be. I just wanted to ask you all am I out to lunch or do y'all eliminate camp rattlesnakes?
