Lots braver than I am. I had made that fellow really, really angry earlier and he took cover under a screen covered with pots of seedlings that is elevated to discourage toad frogs from digging them out. Once he got there I figured he would stay until it got dark. However I wanted him off the premises, so I located someone that would remove him. It got really angry again. The fellow with the hands said it was the angriest he'd ever seen one. He did relocate him far enough away that I'm not likely to ever run across it again. He did have a tool to catch him with initially, but I didn't actually observe how he changed from the tool to his hands. Don't know why he did that, either. Later I was told that it never did calm down. It was still an angry, buzzing rattlesnake when it was released. I'm glad he stayed calm when I was walking by him thinking he was a dead limb that had fallen out of the tree overnight. I did that twice. It stayed calm until I meddled with it, then it got wired up in a big way. Wasn't much fun.
