We were always told that there were no rallters north of Brown County. That they could not survive the cold. I guess now we know the truth.
in fact there is another small timber rattler in northern Indiana tooWho told you that? The massasauga is known to have range in N. Indiana by most of the outdoors folks I know up in that area. I was warned specifically about them years ago when I did some hiking up there.

Venomous, not poisonous. Unless the boy ate the snake.
I've seen them in the swamp at Cedar Lake Golf Course near Howe.I hunted the Mongo area for many years with my bird dogs. Never ran across one and I would sure have hated one of the dogs to have found one.
I noticed that after I posted it. I just copied the headline ..... . ....... my bad. I was wondering how long it would take till somebody corrected that.
Actually the definition of venom is:
- A poisonous secretion of an animal, such as a snake, spider, or scorpion, usually transmitted by a bite or sting.
- A poison.
- Malice; spite: "They dislike making their just criticism of a useful and earnest man an excuse for a general discharge of venom from small-minded opponents" (W.E.B. DuBois).
