Me and a friend went to South Ga. hunting a couple weeks ago. What was going to be a Turkey Fest didn't really work out, the Turkey's were not gobbling at all. The second day of our trip we were walking through the swamp on a logging road and my buddy jumped sideways and yelled watch out!! I stopped in my tracks and laying about 4 feet away was this ugly raschal all coiled up and ready to tear something up. I hated to waste a Hevi 13 #6 on him but needless to say I felt compelled. I will be wearing my snake boots next weekend!!

I have killed them before and they did not rattle.
The best way I have found to kill them is to choke them to death on heel dust when you take off running.... :toothy12:

He had 8 Rattles and a button and yea I was a little unnerved the rest of the day!!

Around here it's often that they don't rattle this time of year, if he's between me and a gobblin turkey I'll go around or move em aside. 

I wear my snake boots every day of the season regardless of the temperature outside, turkey season is too short to worry bout snakes day after day.
