About the same thing here MT Pockets
Our massagga rattlers here in Michigan only grow to around 20 inches. There bite is not that poisonous.
The only one I have ever run onto rattled at my feet while fishing a 10 ft wide trout stream. One step to the bank and when I next hit ground I was on the opposite bank. Stood a second and then laughed my self silly.
I had heavy rubber hip boots on. There was no way the snake could bite thru them. When I crossed back over I couldn't find it.
They are totally protected here as an endangered species.
