last weekend I did some rattlesnake hunting with some friends. We ended up finding 16 handling about 5 of em. I also managed to catch my first ever native brookie. Then we did see a elk fawnlaying beside a rock as well here are some photos and video I took.

Them things there's big enough to hurt a feller. Did you find those there around where you live, or farther upstate in the mountains?
The fawn has pretty good camo and I had to look twice to see it. The snakes showed up really well and I had no problem seeing them.

Pass, on the snakes :sad3:
Really cool pics though, thanks for sharing them. :wink:
I traveled north to hunt these snakes. but we do have timber rattlers round here.
Yeah we actually walked past the fawn and turned around and seen it.
Those are cool pics Ben.
thanks fellas
I like the video, and the strike at the end. Really shows their size.
:wo: Those snakes look really dark. Is that a regional thing or are they all like that?
