Around where i live , i am thought of as the best hunting buddy.If there are 12 other guys with me walking through the woods on the same path,,the snake will always wait on me to bite.I have been snake bit so many times they make jokes about me in the ER.One nurse told me that by now my bite would be much worse than any snake,lol.I get bit in the woods hunting,,,while at a lake or creek fishing,several times walking out to get something out of the car in the drive way after dark,and the last time was last spring while picking blackberries while squatting down in the middle of a big patch of berries,almost was on my butt this time.We have lots of snakes around here and i swear the word has got out where my house is.Snakes from 3 counties crawl just to get to my yard now.When any guys are planning a hunt, they always say,lets take matt just in case the snakes are out.
