Yes it does. Like nothing else! I came close to stepping on one rushing back to my truck for a tool trying to finish up work for the day. That rattler wanted to end my day earlier. It was laying across a RR tie step in the last sun of the day. It's a sharp right from the path onto the step. It saw me coming before I saw it. almost there it struck at me but I was out of range. That mouth was wide open and those fangs were exactly 1.247" long! I started really taking my time when walking that path.
The one that was working it's way into my sister's garage in Taos I killed with a maddox. It was close and only thing I saw to use. I chopped it's head off from behind. Adrenaline city! I skun it, tanned the skin, made nuggets, and my sister saved the rattle. She was going to make me a belt and necklace but passed away before that happened.
