Sorry about the brief reply. Fact is , I was a Boy Scout Troop Master and took my troop up for the week-end along with some other local scout masters. Several Timber Rattlers were found by the boys. You should have seen the kids "proudly" displaying them. They were marching around with them crawling around on dead tree limb that they were using as make shift reptile hooks. We locked them in cages until our stay was over. The camp master release them in a more remote area after we left. Had it not been for the fear of the kids getting bitten, it would have been a little funny, just wasn't at the time.
