Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Here is the real reason: rattlesnakes are being shamed into not using their rattles at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9LzeDg8z-M

Is that Nasssty Pelosssssi.

Need to go down to about 7,500’ to find any.

That must not be in the Yukon, where you'd have to go A LOT lower (if any)! Here in eastern WA State, I would guess they range up to about 2,800 ft around Vantage.

How do the pigs avoid being bitten? Are they immune to rattlesnake venom?

[West Texas Chuck]

No kidding? I never heard that. Does it work with copperheads? Those things are nasty and their bite will have your leg off.

[seemoAR]

I don’t know about copperheads. They may have a scent that I don’t recognize.

I have personally found them at 5,700’ and have been told that in Southern Colorado they go up to about 7,500’. My buddy who lives in the southern Sierras in Kali is overrun with them every few years at 5,200’.
