i've crossed paths with a rattler once, while hiking through salal brush, on an undeveloped trail, of sorts.. Whychus creek area, below the overlook on Peterson's Ridge...1977... i jumped straight up about two feet... the snake made the mistake of not leaving the trail quickly... sadly, my survival instincts kicked in.... the snake didn't feel a thing... they taste great.... we needed the protein.... 2.5 feet of sheer terror... and a tasty dinner.
