Brian, great story and pictures of the snake and hunt. Presently I live in the Santa Barbara area of CA but also have property in CO. A couple of years ago while staying at the CO property in late summer I was working outside and needed to avail myself of the facilities. While relieving myself about 3 feet from a wood pile next to the garage I happened to look down and there on the wood pile was a rattlesnake. I really dislike them and normally they scare the living bejeepers out of me. This time I finished and zipped up, pulled out my Colt .45 ACP and relieved him of his head. I have never eaten snake and I am good with that. My belief is if they don't try to eat me I won't eat them.
