Watch where you're stepping..

The only thing that came into my water tank I was sitting Thursday evening was a diamondback. Kinda cool as he crawled around the edge then coiled up in a depression about 12" from the waters edge and sat there till dark. Then I almost stepped on a different one walking back to my quad in the dark.. The big one I couldn't even get to rattle on video.. He just crawled off.

I just ordered a new light on this experience. I had used a black diamond icon which is seriously underpowered and a sure fire (which is great but you have to hold it) and I'm tired of trying to see things in the dark. This should do the trick,

Great lights I have one of their older models and a handheld model.

I have seen lots of rattlers over the last 3 weeks

I'm not very squimish and have never been particularly afraid of snakes or anything else, but........ any place that has so many rattlers that they start forming herds, that's someplace I don't need to hunt. You can have it!

 

Glad you made it out in one piece.

I usually save my ammo and just throw big rocks at their heads or find a big stick.

I'd start packing a 38spcl with snakeshot- and a second pair of shorts!
