There are several reason why I like huting rattlesnakes. First of course, is the element of excitement and risk. Second, there's no closed season. You can hunt rattlesnakes from spring to fall, at times when little legal game is available. There's a challenge in it. too, the challenge of learning the habits of snakes and figuring out ways to outsmart them. They're secretive, cautious, and crafty, harder to take than you might think, but with a little study you can learn how to do it. Finally there's the satisfaction of controlling the snake population.
