The one in the back must be tired, he's yawning.

Nothing more exciting than working a turkey with one sitting beside you watching the show.

Coming from a family of rattlesnake hunters here in Oklahoma, that's still one snake I haven't ever been fond of.

That's one of the only good things I can come up with that's good about snow and cold weather...

That'd be a great breedin' pair right there for somebody looking to get started. ????????

I guess they're just born with a bad attitude. They're the only snake that I know of that will actually come after you.

Heart rate.....it certainly woke me up , I was roosting birds for the ranch , all I had was a rifle in the cart for shooting yotes...with only one round , so I blew one nearly in half , I beat the other with a fence post , the one I shot came back and got up on the high part of a rut and stuck it's head up out the bush and knee high hieght,  sneaky mo-fo

The moccasins are a very aggressive snake down here in Florida , they bite anything ...cattle , tractor tires , dogs , and worst yet people --

Nothing like hunting the southeastern coast to make you question every step. Sitting in a swamp bottom, hiding in saw palms, I'm constantly scanning left right front back and worst of all up!  I hate cotton mouths!! (No offense "cottonmouth")

Couple of whacks with a stick. My 40 acres is covered in them.  I walked it with a biologist this week. I told him if he should come back during warmer weather watch out for them. We are blessed with a bunch here in SEMO.

I just hate that smell after I kill one!

never worried about walking too much.............it was sitting,backed into a palmetto head,that had armadillo     ( I hoped) borrows all over in it....especially on warm days after a cold spell.    nothing can shake me more than the ''singing '' of a diamondback..

You don't dwell on the thought. If you do; you can't function. Until about 3 years ago; I squirrel  hunted in tennis shoes. Coonhunted about 4 nights a week and still don't own snake boots or chaps.

I probably should add that I worked in the middle of the highway for years so I may not be best judge of common sense. I always said you needed to be aware of traffic but not terrified or you couldn't do your job.

If you hunted where I live, that wouldn't be a problem at ALL.  No toothy crawlers just right here.  But you don't have to go too far to find 'em.

I don't dwell on the thought of being in a car crash.  But I wear my seatbelt........... same as I wear snake boots when I'm hunting where the nasties live.   Yep.

Got buzzed around a rocky ledge one day, never did find any. Guess how many pair of snake boots I have used since!!

I'm all about a freebie but you can keep those.  I have enough on my hands keeping a watch out for rattlesnakes and copperheads!

Friend of mine down hunting Osceola and all he sent me this morning is a picture of a cotton mouth and a big one at that! Yikes!
