heres a true story,back when i worked as a geologist in the oil field.was working with a guy who had a small buisness on the side making belts,hatbands and things out of rattlesnake skins.he talked me into the notion of going out with him one cool morning while we were waiting on cement to hunt snakes.we were drilling right on the edge of the caprock just north of canadian texas.like i say it was really cool and we hunted all morning and never seen a snake(much to my relief)that afternoon it got up to probably 90+ degrees.we killed thirteen crossing location to get to shade and water around rig .just so happened there was a small water hole maybe 20 ft accross about 1/4 mile from rig right alongside road,when i went to supper that evening that hole was literally crawling with snakes! i dont know if they were hunting water to drink,or just a cool place to lay.but we sat in back of pickup and shot about half a box of 22 shells killing the ones that crossed the road.kind of fun and creepy at the same time.i have never before or since saw so many rattlers in one place,and we had hunted all morning and never saw one!every time it gets real dry like it is now i think of that and be extra carefull around any shade or water holes.around 1980 or so my brother and i were fishing in some bass tournaments,one was at lake eufala in eastern okla.on that one weekend we ran across probably 15 rattlers far from shore crossing the lake.i dont know how they do it, but they can coil up, float like a cork, and strike at you while floating just as good on water as they can on land.be carefull around any cool shady areas,or around water in this hot dry weather,they are out there even if you dont see them.
