Any caver ever done that?" I don't know about rattlers, but on one trip out to a ranch near Copperas Cove, the rancher mentioned that he'd had trouple with porcupines chewing up his fenceposts. So Jon Everage took a pistol, crawled down the porky's hole and shot it...forgetting, of course, that he was in really close confines. He was deaf for a few hours after that. Somewhere I have some slides of him crawling down the hole (one with just the bottom of his boots showing) and some with the porky. Louise
