I can almost guarantee he didn't kill it. I bet it is wondering around looking for a rattlebug to get after!!!

We used to run across them often when I was guiding quail hunts on the King Ranch. It was a big time No No to kill one. I was told they would kick you off of the ranch for killing one.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

They are harmless to people and dogs, and will flee if stumbled upon. It's also true that they do eat rattlesnakes. I can understand folks killing rattlers, and other venomous, but not non-venomous. Snakes do play a major role our ecological system.
