RE: Timber Rattlesnakes, MA - Art by donofa
I believe we have Diamondback. Maybe also Prairie. One of our dogs got bitten and survived but it was pretty ugly. I hike a lot around rocks and try to carry a stick and wear boots. I know I shouldn't do it alone, but sometimes I do. I usually bring my dog. I know they aren't aggressive, but one can still have a mis step.

I hike alone most of the time too. I always wear boots and jeans. You really have to pay attention. Especially with diamondbacks because they are very aggressive. Dangerous for the dog but I would bring him too. I love dogs.
