[QUOTE="Deadmeat, post: 208863, member: 704"] I don't know about the origin of the picture but it's interesting that you mention that the ones you've seen lately never rattled. In 1994 I was deer hunting near Eufaula, Alabama and was walking back to the car through a palmetto thicket when I was struck above the right ankle by a 4' canebrake rattler that never rattled until after it hit me. Luckily, I made it to the checking station and one of the checkers took me to the hospital. I was pretty sick for awhile but that was about it. It wasn't a dry bite but not much venom was injected and I was released the same day. Since then I've heard, like you, that there seem to be more and more reports of rattlesnakes not rattling, perhaps as a survival response in hopes of not being noticed. [/QUOTE]
