Great outing and even much greater outing that you made it home unscathed.

Thanks for sharing

Do you wear snake boots/gaiters?

I only do sometimes if Im out in the woods.  Depends on how hot it is.

Oh yeah, they dont call this the armpit of Hades for nuthin'

Oh wait....thats just what I call it.

That is one beaut of a rattler though.  I dont kill any I come across.  Dont blame the folks the who do though as long as they eat them.

I have had fried rattlesnake before. It's pretty good actually... I don't kill snakes either.  I have always been I impressed with them even as a kid. Amazing animals!!! That one had beautiful color.

Did he buzz you??  I have to wonder how many rattlers I came close to when I was growing up in Florida.
