Ed67 Report post Posted October 13, 2015 No but I'm scared every time I head out on an October hunt. 33 seems to be the worst. Rattlers everywhere but the big spiders between mesquites freak me out more. At least a rattler might give a warning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HyNoon Report post Posted October 13, 2015 I hate snakes as well and almost stepped on one in February on the javi hunt. We have had 4 sidewinder's in the last month at the house. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonne Report post Posted October 13, 2015 Two summers ago I encountered one like every week! Haven't seen any in quite a while, and scared one up a week ago, man it scared the daylights out of me I'm suprised I didn't have an official heart attack on the spot.

trphyhntr Report post Posted October 13, 2015 why are the turtle skins so much more expensive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted October 13, 2015 Because they are the most comfortable and very lightweight. I have not been bit yet to test them, and hope I never am, but they seem pretty tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 13, 2015 I just walk thru the the tall stuff fully aware and looking down, also I hope and pray! Snakes are my worst phobia but I know as soon as I buy gators or other snake products I'll start seeing them! Wanna see a big guy whoop your butt? Throw a dead rattler at me!! Lol happened before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted October 13, 2015 Been out in 37b this week on a youth pig hunt. Seen a racer and a ring neck. No rattlesnakes yet. Did run into a young Gila monster today. Just be aware. When I was a kid I used to make my money selling rattlesnakes to the roundup in New Mexico. Never been afraid of em, just got to have respect for what they can do to you. As far as snake chaps, I think it's a waste of beer money. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
