Notes
I was working on a house remodel out on Yucca Mesa & a helper went to grab a board from a stack of wood & the rattlesnake was in the wood & rattled loudly. We got the snake into a large bucket & transported it further out into the desert & released it. The snake was biting the guide stick & squirted a lot of venom on the cement porch.
