OK, what is your point? Like I said, I've never seen ONE rattlesnake
in the 20 yrs I lived here, and I've been in the "woods" numerous
times.

That was a deputy saying that he was scared off by a rattler if
true......that is why he has a gun, . You don't just LEAVE!-

No, but in all fairness, the deputy may not have known what to expect
when he got called to that site to look around. I wouldn't go tromping
around in that terrain without boots and a stick in addition to the
gun; I'd hold off till I got my stuff and then go look. I don't know
if that's how it happened, though.

and it is pretty hard to shoot a snake with a handgun, especially if
it surprises you, it's camouflaged and you have other people fanned
out searching with you.

OK, that is why they carry a shotgun....lol If this worker could see a
bag, it makes NO sense to me why a cop couldn't see the same bag,
especially since the meter reader was there with him. Get the shotgun
out of the car, blow the snakes head off, and check the bag.

The thing about snakes, though... is that they usually travel in
pairs. And without even realizing it, he may have even stumbled across
an entire nest... you just never know. And after spotting ONE... it
would have been foolish to take any chances if he wasn't wearing any
protective gear.

Looks like you have been believing in a myth.

Snakes Travel in Pairs

Another myth regarding snake behavior is that snakes travel in pairs,
the survivor seeking revenge if one is killed.  This myth is entirely
false, snakes hardly ever travel in groups or pairs.  Snakes do not
have any social bonds and would feel in no way vengeful if one of its
conspecifics were to be killed.  One possible explanation for this
myth may be that in a prime habitat situation, several snakes of the
same species may be observed in a small area.  Another possible
explanation for the origin of this myth could be related to the
typical reproductive behavior of snakes.  During the mating season a
male snake may closely follow a female snake much as a buck deer
trails a doe during the rut.

Venomous snakes travel in pairs.

Truth: Snakes have no real social structure or interest in forming
pair bonds. The only time they would be found in pairs is during
breeding season or by pure coincidence that two happen to be in the
same area.

When I stated "travel in pairs" I was stating that if you find one,
you are very likely to stumble across another one in the immediate
area. I said nothing about revenge if you take out a mate, which I
also agree is BS.

Do you still wait half an hour after eating before going swimming? I'm
not one to ridicule folklore... especially if it's purpose is to keep
us safe. Not everyone is an expert on snakes... myself included. I
personally don't happen to know how often... when or where snakes
prefer to mate... do you? With that being said... I stand by my
previous statements.
