Thanks for the nightmares I'll now have tonight!

I had gone out when a couple guys acted pretty wound up and taken a bucket and rake they were using and kinda scooped the little one into the bucket.

The other one, I was driving down a single car width track to a fishing spot on base when I saw one stretched completely across the track. Head in sagebrush on one side, tail in sagebrush on the other so the snake was at least 6 or 7 feet long. I stopped my car, got out and tossed a small rock at the snake. Sheer stroke of luck but I managed to bounce the stone onto the snake. It coiled and immediately rattled. I turned around and went home for the day.
