If you want to take them alive, poke a few small holes in a five gallon bucket lid use a pole or catcher thing (dont know what they are called) and put them in, you can use a large bag like a feed bag etc and put them in and tie it but I prefer the bucket. You can catch them by hand (I dont reccomend it), I know guys that do. I would kill them in the field then they should be safe to handle by the time you get home.
before my daughter was born I was a hands on type of guy, now its bucket, and my homemade golfclub/snake stick
Sounds fun to me I have been wanting to try that for a few years now. Wish that wasn't so far away. My buddies just think I'm crazy.
Check up around the North Shoot site.. I know a couple of years ago there was at least one..
He was kind of young also, So I would guess that there was at least 3...

If you just want to get rid of the rattle snakes, go catch a bunch of bullsnakes and turn them loose on your property. I guarantee your rattler problem will be solved. Bullsnakes will also take care of any mice and other small rodents.
The season is June 15-August 15 Daily limit 3 possession limit is 6, I'm not sure if rules change on private property but a simple call to the dow will answer all question (303)297-1192 .
I would also enjoy shooting a few snakes and dont mind driving let me know
Its true bullsnakes will out compete rattlers and even occasionally eat them, but at my place I have plenty of both. "Red racers" too. Biggest bull snakes I've ever seen in abundance around here. They crawl out onto the road to sun themselves in the spring and sadly, a lot of them get run over by cars. These red racers, which I had never seen before moving out to rural Pueblo county, are bright pink when they shed their skins for a day or two. Interesting creatures.
