are not in their diet--too big--so they don't really try to "go after"
you
A few years ago I was riding with friends through an area of short dead
grass. We suddenly heard a rattler and quickly turned our horses around to leave
and I saw the rattlesnake become airborne as it came after one of the horses. It
looked like a rope going through the air. It connected with the bottom of my
friend's horse's hoof... no damage done. But it was one aggressive snake.
Another friend was riding down a narrow trail and a Mojave Rattler came out
of the bushes and came at her. She wheeled her horse around and took off and
lookd over her shoulder to see the snake in hot pursuit. So they can "go after"
you.
