One of my dad's former co-pilots retired and bought the old family farm in Texas. The farm house had not been occupied for several years. He fixed up place to make his wife happy.
One his first morning there he brought a cup of coffee out to the porch and look at the property. There was a coiled up rattle snake. He got his pistol, and dispatched the rattler.
One his second morning there he brought a cup of coffee out to the porch and look at the property. There was a coiled up rattle snake. He got his pistol, and dispatched the rattler.
One his third morning there he brought a cup of coffee out to the porch and look at the property. There was a coiled up rattle snake. He got his pistol, and dispatched the rattler. He was beginning to think it was the Twilight Zone. He did call a snake disposal company. They looked under the house and found almost 100 rattlers. He said he wondered why there were no mice or mouse damage anywhere.
They found more in the barn. Most were very young rattlers. He spent a lot to get rid of them all.
