I'm all for conservation based hunting. I've hunted rattler, in fact it is one of my favorite types of wild game. What these guys and their round ups do is far from regulated, and should be illegal. Removing nuisance animals or controlled hunting is should be allowed, its as simple as a punch card system with size and number restrictions to keep local populations at a safe and healthy level. These roundups are destroying local populations of native rattlers, to the point where people are being forced to hunt in larger areas and neighbor counties surrounding roundups.
