stepped on a 5 footer back in may while hunting. i knew better than to walk in those ferns, but the route to the truck was so much shorter that way. Got struck on the shine, but those rattler brand chaps did their job. I did mine and dispatched the cranebrake into the here after, after some pants shaking and the OH s@#$ stopped ringing echos down the branch.

Never ask a man what kind of dog he has. If he has a hound he'll tell you, if he does not, you don't want to shame him by asking.

I've only killed 4 this yr. Might have them thinned out some. Killed 14 last yr and 17 the yr before. That's ridiculous. Lots of the devils in these hills. Im glad I waited to post these after huntin. Id have been a nervous wreck if Id have had snakes on the brain before I cut loose lol.

I sure am glad to see all these dead snakes. Gives me that warm and fuzzy when I step in the woods knowing that there is some population control going on.

I'm Thanking the Good Lord above that I hunt in the Southern Indiana bottom ground where there are no rattlesnakes! Never saw a live one other than in a cage. We do have a few copperheads in the hills around but not in the bottoms where we drop.
I don't know how you guys stand it. I'd be looking around all the time, not getting anything else done!
