You guys are definately right about "Harvest Time". I used to hunt up on a mountain in Arkansas and every couple of hours you would see guys taking fertilizer around on their ATV's in the National Forrest. Most people catch rattlesnakes with a Y-shaped stick, grab behind the head while holding it down it the stick, pickup and place them in a sack. You can inject the snake with rubbing alcohol to will it. It will not have any reflex actions to this either.
