Ground squirrels and rattle snakes are natural enemies but in the winter they share living quarters.
When we have difficulty finding ground squirrels we shoot a rattler and use it for bait..

I didn't even know rattlers came out in the winter. I figured they were in their den. Wow! that's cool.

I heard that ground squirrels are immune to rattle snake venom.

They don’t come out in the winter. They stay at home under ground with the ground squirrels.

Maybe,but they are not immune to a well placed pellet between the ears

Except for the one that I found on the front door mat, on Xmas morning.
