Just don't go bragging or posting pictures! There was a guy a few years back got his picture in the local paper holding the big old rattlesnake he killed. It was a Timber Rattler and tpwd DID track him down and slap some real nasty fines on him. I've heard the same about pictures online in forums, if somebody reports it. It's about like shooting a bald eagle according to the law.
But timber rattlers are funny, in Texas anyway, they are really tied to their den sites. You will only find them inside of maybe 3/4 mile from their den, outside of that you can live your whole life and never see one. That's why they are  on endangered list, most of their dens had Walmart and strip malls built over them years ago.
