A Little Rattled . . .

[hoyt]

When I first laid eyes on this diamondback it was stretched out about 4 to 6" along side my right thigh, with it's head up flicking it's tongue right about at my knee. I was sitting down against a tree calling and it crawled up from behind me.

Those big ones can leave a kinda sick feeling in your gut when you have close calls with them.

Close one, glad you got to keep your arm. This is the copperhead that about got me last year..

That gives me the chills right there.
I have heard that the rattlers do not rattle any more due to the growth of the hog population.
I have heard that hogs will eat snakes.

Glad that no one got hurt.

You know as much as I enjoyed watching this video I'm not going to tell anybody on here to make us another.  You guys be careful.

Glad you weren't bit but I'd have given him a dose of Hevi-13 7's instead of a stick!
