Got my 5th rattlesnake of the year this evening.  Kind of a weird one.   There was a baby rabbit right by the snake.  The rabbit was too big and the snake too small for it to eat the rabbit.  Patty was on the quad.  I was worried she would jump off to go after the rabbit and get snake bit in the process.  But she stayed on the quad.  A small rattler barely 2 feet long with just 3 rattles.  But it ain't going to get any bigger.   The shovel scores once more.  Oh, the rabbit went off about 10 feet and hid.  Hopefully it hadn't been bit.
