I killed thirty two rattlesnakes one summer while putting up hay. Went out one morning after it had rained looking for the neighbors horses that had got in my field and was walking along the fence line. Grass was about knee high and I was getting tired of walking thru it so I stopped to rest for a minute. Looked around and didn't see the horses anywhere. Soon I heard something that sounded like an electrical short buzzing. Probably stood there for five minutes trying to figure out what was buzzing. Finally looked at the ground and saw what it was. I hadn't noticed when I stopped but I had stopped on about a dinner plate sized patch of bare ground next to the fence. There on both sides of my left foot I saw three round coils sticking out of both sides of my irrigating boot. Took me a few seconds to figure out what it was. I always packed a pistol with me but I had left it at the house because it looked like it might rain again. All I had was a shovel. I stepped down real hard and then stepped back carefully. There was a poor rattlesnake trying to figure out why he was so flat. I dispatched him very quickly. It was a good thing it was pretty cool that morning and he wasn't able to move very fast. He had eight or nine buttons on him.
