Well I don't know about the land around Placerville
But large sections of southern Calif and all the national forests and park lands
Have rules about protecting the rattlesnakes
Now private property is another matter
That statement about bag limits is the first I have ever read
I wonder what that bag limit is?
I bet it's pretty **** small? , is it? Do you know what it is?
Anytime you have a limit on the amount taken, you are protecting that species from over hunting and keeping a breeding population growing
