Rattlesnake Report in Lincoln

I'd really bet there's too much going on there for it to be a rattlesnake. There's a reason they like the rural areas and the sandhills. They wanna be away from the noise.

As I typed that, I'm starting to think I might be a rattlesnake.
 

Definitely possible.​

Where Rattlesnakes Live in the U.S (State-by-State Analysis)

If you plan on exploring the great outdoors (walking, hiking or camping), you should expect to find highly venomous snakes.

Nebraska​

Timber rattlesnakes live in the southeastern tip of the state, not far from Lincoln. Around the same area, there used to be a western massasauga population, too. However, these snakes are now critically endangered.

You can also find prairie rattlesnakes, especially in the western half of the state, west of Lexington, and definitely around North Platte. They also live all along the border with South Dakota. These snakes are common across most of the Midwest.

Was it a prairie rattler? They're not native to Northeast Kansas, but we've had 2 in my life time close to my parents house which right near a UP railroad line. They've been known to slither up on rail cars as trains are parked in the sandhills/Wyoming and then end up here when trains are parked for crew shifts/etc

No idea, he says he heard a rattle after his dog disturbed the snake. I’ve seen bull snakes in this area, so I’m 50/50 on whether I believe he heard a rattle, or whether it was just dead leaves or debris. He’s not a total idiot, and he’s from Utah, so he should be familiar with rattlesnakes. 🤷‍♂️

Bull snakes can mimic a rattle.
 
Allegedly, the university released rattlers south of Pawnee City. I heard this from the farmer whose land they were on. He found them, killed about 20 of them, then the university came asking where the heck they went, and he showed them the bodies. This was the guy that sold the quarries to Martin Marietta years back.
 
About 3 years ago I was out hunting some public land about an hour north of GI.

I was away from the truck for about 3 days and when I came back it sounded like there was fluid leaking my from truck.

I look under it a few times and am just confused as fuck, I get down on my back and scoot under the truck to see what the noise is and it was a baby rattler about 6” off my shoulder.

Never thought they’d be that far east/north. I’ve hunted in Arizona/Nevada a lot and ran into quite a few of them out there, that one about made me shitt’em though

A neighbor of mine told me his dog scared up a rattlesnake in an unmowed area near our neighborhood. There are definitely bull snakes, but I’ve never seen a rattler. I’ve never thought they exist around these parts. Does the PB believe my neighbor, or is he a damned liar?

Its probably a bull snake
 
I had the drive of my life last week, straight down the fairway 60 yards away from the green on a pair 5.

Pull up to my ball and there’s a big ass snake there. I don’t f with snakes so I said f it and took a drop.

BIL after wards said it was a giant bull snake.

You catch some cart path or what? Hitting it 400+ is a bomb. 350+ is a bomb for that matter.

If you go west towards Barneston, they are all over. I know a few farmers that see them each year

That would be hilarious if he really did show them the dead bodies.
