johnnie blaze Report post Posted October 13, 2015 If you let it get in your head while you're out on the mountain...it'll drive you crazy and triple your travel time....especially walking out in the dark. I just say fug it. Tell the snake God's, "you don't mess with me, and I'll return the favor". It's worked so far. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted October 13, 2015 do you guys wear them snake chaps or anything like that when youre hunting this time of year? usually dont get out till november but ive been coyote calling lately and seeing a lot of snakes. i got this october coues hunt coming up and ive been kinda tripping out about rattlesnakesyes. I was wearing chaps today scouting east of Dugas. But seriously, I can't hear them any more but my mare can. She ain't scared of em, just goes around them. But if they want to go toe to toe, she'll just stomp the crap out of them. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted October 13, 2015 I wore them when I used to hunt 33...mainly for the shin-daggers. They were a comfort after seeing several snakes. Got struck on the boot once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneaker Report post Posted October 13, 2015 Around Kingman just doesn't have many. I've hiked thousands of miles and ran thousands more in the units around here and have only seen a handful of rattlers my whole life. We never even think about them. Probably the elevation? 3,600 plus even for quail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goinhuntn Report post Posted October 13, 2015 I wear Rocky snake boots mine are like wearing tennis shoes!! I bought a good pair of under armour heat gear knee high socks really helps my feet from sweating. The way I look at it $130 bucks for a little insurance is better than thousands in medical bills or even death!! Getting bit especially if your far from medical attention isn't worth it to me. My feet might get a little hot, but that's better than getting bit!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
