When you know what LEO's face along the Border, or anywhere for that matter...having weapons drawn on you by LEO's is not such a big dealy, in fact it kinda pisses me off when LEO's disregard basic officer safety methods...Heaven forbid a citizen ever draw on an illegal, the alien will have title to your home and bank account by the time authorities are done with ya.

CouesPursuit Report post Posted October 19, 2015 I was doing some wade bassin' one day on a local river. As I typically cast my frog or lizard just onto shore for a gentle entrance into the water, this bastard chased my 6" zoom lizard all the way into me, I was 50 feet from shore in thick mud. He was relentless for a few minutes. I had water up above my waist, little turd had my blood pumping as I fought him off with the rod. Must have flipped him away at least 5 feet on several tosses until he finally looked for dinner elsewhere. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was upheld by the Supreme Court more in court than I can count.If you think the govt can waylay you without reasonable suspicion that you have committed a crime, congrats you have the govt you deserve.

hoghntr Report post Posted October 19, 2015 i'm purty sure a good phsycociatrist could help you get over your love of rattlers and return you to somewhat normal. Lark. Funny you should say that.. 1 episode of Venom ER did just that! After 1 episode i decided no more late night snake hunts in middle of nowhere and i started wearing my guards pretty much always even to bed i think 1st few nights after that episode. I was very lucky at about 16 when struck and actually did not know it had hit me till i got home. I went to aleep cuz wasn't feeling well figured i was just bit stressed by the close call and the fact that after i killed that snake i also found 1 under truck then 100 yards down rd on way out... Turns out when i woke and had severe cramping in leg and was ill to stomach i found a scratch on leg from 1 fang and a puncture from the other.. Seems i almost cleared the fangs with my vertical. I NEVER WANT A FULL WET BITE! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I NEVER WANT A FULL WET BITE! Amen Brother! Only one fang got me. Fortunately I knew he got me. Not a good feeling to see your ankle swell up from the bite down. Nor is the smell of your own flesh rotting. That puncture wouldn't scab up. You could lay a finger in the groove of eaten muscle around my calf. And I know I was LUCKY! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
