RE: Snakes
One day when I was on a late spring turkey hunt in northen Michigan I got bit by a northen rattle snake , they look like a diamond back but they'er not poisonous.
Good thing I was wearing my rubber boots , the snake bit me in the mid cafe just above my ankle it didn't get into my skin.
Scared the crap right outta of me as I was stomping on it , ended up killing the thing.
