I have 2 pairs of snake boots Rocky's and Readheads. Both pairs are lace ups.
I had the Rockys and did not like them..#1.the laces bent on me.2.Everytime I took my foot out the lining would come out too..I love the La Crosse rubber boots.so I thought th eLa Crosse snake boots would be a good investment..The Redheads were cheaper and feel better on my feet then the Rockys. I work outside quite a bit doing environmental work. Typically I do not wear my snake boots because I am too lazy to put on. I should look into getting a pair w/ the zipper like Chuck.
Actually I just typed in snake boots size 13on ebay and this is the only pair they had ...so I bought them.
I just bought a pair of the Alpha Burly rubber boots and they are hands down the most comfortable rubber or snake boots I have.
I saw a rather large cottonmouth, about 4 ft,
That is huge..on Saturday in Green Swamp from about 10-15 ft. He saw me also and threw his head back and showed the white of his mouth to warn me.
WOW!!! I would of probably hadan accident .[
]The cottonmouths and Diamonbacks generally do not worry me because they let you know they are there. What worries me are the pygmies!
Yeah..especially during turkey seaon when your on the ground..Once I was on the ground and honestly 3 big bull gators were making that looww bellowing sound all around me..I was very concerned.A pygmy rattling sounds like a fly or bee and is hard to hear. Pygmies would have a hard time penetrating rubber boots I beleive.
Yeah..I had one striking my boot while I was video taping him..they aint got nothing behind their little strike..Their little yellow tail rattling was cute too.
Once it cools down the snakes are not so bad and are very dormant when out sunning themselves.
Exactly..this is prime time for snakes so watch out..I remeber several years ago doing surveys in the Baird Tract and walking through a land mine field of cottonmouths. It was so cold they were not interested in moving whatso evever.
I should wear my snake boots more often this early in archery. I wore them all Spring Turkey.
It wouldn't hurt..especially since th eswamp has water now..it was dry in August.
By the way..welcome to HNI
