Perhaps you are making the assumption that these folks went out in the woods looking for these snakes? Not true.

As someone else posted, members of a hunting club in Rockford were having a cleanup day to get ready for hunting season. A guy was weed-eating around the FRONT STEPS of the clubhouse, and one of the mother rattlers came out. He got a gun and shot it ... went back to weedeating, and another mother rattler came out .. .another member killed that one ... then the small snakes started coming out ... they killed those with a hoe/shovel.

As you can see in the photos, kids are around this clubhouse. These guys are not "inbred rednecks" .. they are family men who killed some dangerous pests.

You should stop jumping to conclusions and feeding into stereotypes when you don't really know the situation.
