This is a timber rattlesnake that my son and I came across while hunting some property we own in Monroe County.
We killed a very young (16") Timber Rattlesnake yesterday, while cleaning up some downed branches in the orchard. I am being a bit more cautious now, as where you find the young ones, MaMa would be nearby. Time to carry the 22 pistol when doing yard work. I live on the Floyd/Harrison County Line South of Lanesville.
If you like, feel free to drop me a line when/if you encounter them. I could have it relocated, which would be a win/win. ..
