Chicken Dinner show up here in July and I'll guarantee you a wild rattle snake sighting. I so wish we didn't have them. In fact if they did not exist everything else about the wildlife around here would be perfect. They are the one total menace that really is a hassle in the warm months. On the northwest side of Montana they have few to no rattle snakes, but they have grizzly bears to contend with. Neither is a pleasant option.
