The only time I've seen a rattlesnake in the "wild" was near Fentress, Texas, during a weekend stay at a cabin on the San Marcos River. I'd gotten up long before the kids or other adults, so had time to go to the store to buy a few things for breakfast. On my way back, on River Grove Road, a canebrake rattler was crossing the road. I was right on it before noticing, and slammed on the brakes, backing up for a closer look. After establishing that it was what I thought it was, I hurried to the cabin to get the kids up to have a look. Unfortunately by the time we got back to the spot it had moved on. Couldn't've gone far though, which made me just a little nervous...
