I was at lion claws 5 in the bushes hiding from the armored tank with the minigun on it when a big rattler cruised over my legs.  And kept going.  Lmao. :shock:

Not a big deal.  Come out with something close to green or tan if you can.


    For future reference You can get cheap used BDUs at allied surplus for around 30-35$

Thanks everyone for coming out.  Had a great time as always.  We had some really good games.

Ironic how we talk about snakes the day before, then come across one.  I'm just very glad that it was spotted and no one got hurt.  As many of us airsofters and paintballers play at here, it had to go.  Diamondbacks are no joke, and it was active.  Did what had to be done.  Good'ol rebar and my AK-bayo worked out well.

That's pretty scary, I saw that pic and that was a biggun'. How aggressive was it? I hope you guys were careful in handling it after it was dead because snakes can literally strike while dead. I've seen videos of the dismembered head of a rattler open and snap close as if it were alive in a cartoon.

It was pretty active.  It was first spotted halfway outside of it's hole.  When I was taken to the area where it was spotted to decide on course of action, he was still halfway in his hole... head end out.  I couldn't tell right away what kind of snake it was (I'm no Steve Irwin) until it slithered out of the whole and exposed it's rattler.  It got a bit defensive when we spotted it the second time, rattling and focusing its attention at the few of us nearby.  

I was as careful as I could be.  Good thing there was some rebar laying around.  This enabled me to strike it at a safe distance.  Two good smacks on the head, then it was pinned down with the bar.  I then ran my bayonet though the bottom of it's head out the top, and then severed the head.  The head was buried just in case.  Twas a bit scary.  Glad no one got hurt, because someone could have been seriously injured.
