Tres Report post Posted March 18, 2017 Makes me wish it was November through February again when you could start hiking around without a care of running into one of those thingsNo doubt!!! This one Tres posted is all coiled like one of the dirt clumps beside him. As a guy who got a 1 fanged partial dose when I was youngster quail hunting I can say I don't ever want full dose venom! I had small scratch and small puncture due to my good vertical jump abilities back then but dang sure got sick That afternoon and had severe muscle cramping/spasms in calf to point of couldn't walk. Have worn snake guards since and been struck multiple time bird hunting. 😡 Yeah I thought it was cow shoot. There is a reason I don't go quail hunting until mid to late November.

G_E_E Report post Posted March 19, 2017 During the first deer hunt in late October I came within about a foot of being bit. I was Walking pretty quick to get to me glassing spot for the afternoon, and I hear rattling just bit to my right and luckily I jumped left, cause there was a big ol sucker reared up and ready. I don't like to think about what would have happened if I stepped in the wrong direction. A few large rocks to the head and he no longer posed a threat.

hoghntr Report post Posted March 30, 2017 On my back patio today. That's a pretty healthy looking snake. Just a common sense fyi to all on here DONT LET YOUR WIFE PUT A BIRD BLOCK IN YOUR YARD. Rats and mice also like bird seed and snakes like rats and mice. Every house I have taken snakes from have had BIRD blocks or neighbor does Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted April 1, 2017 My son's friend in CA asked for a rattlesnake rattle. Since we were heading out to La Paz County, drove down a road I know is a hotspot for them... We encountered 6 in about 2 miles of road. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
