Rattlesnake Kate

Β 

On October 28, 19AB , Katherine McHale Slaughterback was out with her 3-year old adopted son Ernie. They were on horseback and headed toward a lake near her farm in Hudson, Colorado after hearing what sounded like hunters, it wasn't hunters it was many, many migrating rattlesnakes.Β 

Β 

According to Kate, β€œI fought them with a club not more than 3 feet long, whirling constantly for over two hours before I could kill my way out of them and get back to my faithful horse and Ernie, who were staring at me during my terrible battle not more than 60 feet away.

All totaled, she killed (###)Β snakes.
