A friend of mine is a professor of biology at Southeast Community College and recently found three timber rattlers in SE Nebraska, this is what he said once he found them: "OK...for those of you who are in the know, this will be a great piece of news: Today Christopher Visser (https://www.facebook.com/TheGermanFarmer) and I found TWO Timber Rattlesnakes in Richardson County, Nebraska. For those who are unawares, only about 10 TR's have been found - dead OR alive - in this county since they were first discovered there in the 1930's. Now comes the fun segment of this study: radiotelemetry. We will be radiotracking these two snakes throughout the rest of the season."

They later found a third one but I'll let you guys read more.

That's awesome that they are hopefully making a comeback in that area

I'm quite excited. I've heard stories from the area (there's a great camping/hiking/fishing spot down there) but nobody that I've spoken with save Dan has ever seen a Timber down there.
