Rattle snakes in Decatur county?

[jbird]

I have from a source I trust that there are rattle snakes in Decatur county (Lett's area).    Is this true?   I know Indiana has some in the Hoosier national forest but this was the first time I had heard of any in Decatur County.....    I am told that this person has family that has seen these snakes first hand.....

While a few counties have documented populations of Timber Rattle Snakes, the habitat required for the snakes to survive is very sensitive and found in only a couple counties in Indiana with Decatur county not being one of them. A Timber Rattle snake being located in Decatur county would be surprising.
