Rattle snake at the cabin

This summer as Grandpa started to step off the porch, he heard a buzz and there was a rattle snake. He dropped a log on its head and killed it. We called Fish and Game and they said it was very unusual for a rattlesnake to be up that high. They think it must have come in with a load of lumber for someones cabin. So no worry, we are rattlesnake free, thanks to Grandpa
