I have seen one timber rattler in 23 years of spring gobbler hunting in Western Maryland. I remembwer that is was May 4, but don't remember the year. Probably 2000 or so. It is illegal to kill them here.

None in my travels to WY, KS and NE.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Just two.  The one I stepped on and the one I saw in the creek before I crossed it.

Both are still alive as far as I know. 

I did make a rather funny noise as I realized I had just stepped on a snake's tail and was about to put my other foot on his head. :help:
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

I see several every year, 6-12 or so.   I never have shot one,  turkey shells are too exspenive,   to many clubs (sticks) ( grolla warfare),  if I was going to make a habbit shooting them I would carry some left over dove shells.

Opening day of the Indiana season, a buddy and I was setting in the blind we had set up the evening before.  We had a 12" or so garder snake in the blind before daylight, it went across my boot laces. I heard the leaves or something, turned the flashlight on and there it was. Needless to say I woke up my buddy by flipping the blind over and yellin, well you know the  rest of the story. I'll save face while I can LOL.

Hunted 3 days in North Carolina and saw 6 black snakes and 1 green snake.  PA is my home state and I normally don't see any snakes in the spring.

One big Rattle snake that I did away with and a couple of King snakes.

I was surprised (in a good way) that I didnt see any this year.  Thats not the norm for me in my neck of the woods
