Someone told me that if I see a rattler, I should pick up a medium-sized rock at a safe distance, and lob it in an arc toward the snake, which will cause the snake to track it in the air, strike at it, and get crushed.
This seemed like an old wives tale, but I didn't hear it from an old wife.
Please explain what is the purpose and justfication of trying to kill a snake just because you seen it? The snake is not going to do you any harm at all if you avoid it from the same safe distance.
