As he picked it up he heard a snake buzzing. After searching around he realized it was above him. Some people would leave the area, others would quickly kill the large rattler, Jamie saw it as a photo op. I thought that was a fake photo until I realized that was Jamie in the picture. to heck with that, never seen one in a tree and don't think I need to.

Shooter McGavin Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Saw this guy a week week before my boys jr hunt in Redington, needless to say he never saw another sunrise. Even though he wasn't bothering anyone I felt obligated to add another rattle to my collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYAZHunter Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Several years ago , my uncle moved to Az. from Florida where he was a groundskeeper. He renewed his interest in hunting and I took him south for the early hunt. I put him in a wooded location , lots of shade and deer sign. I went back later to get him and he said there was a coral snake in the tree he was standing by. I know he knew what a coral snake looked like from his 35 years in Fla. I still question what kind of snake it was , however , now I look at the trees as much as I look at the ground. It is hard to look for deer when I worry so much about our slithery friends.

Edge Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Careful McGavin, looks like maybe a protected variety of buzztail, but I do appreciate the sentiment. lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted October 14, 2014 I was walking into a pond down by barnhart opening day of archery deer a few years ago when I walked right into a Mohave who was stretched across the trail in the manzanita about 3 feet off the ground. I figure he was hunting from above as the brush was pretty thick. If he had not buzzed I would have hit him about mid thigh as I was moving pretty quick. Need less to say I found another trail to get into that spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
