A friend and I were putting out corn today, and as we were walking from one stand to another, he yells from behind me "snake". I turn around to see and it wasn't just any snake, but a canebrake rattler. I had taken my eyes off the trail for 3 seconds and walked rightoverthe rattler that was basking in the sun. Its a wonder how I didn't step on him.
I can't even tell you the last time I'd seen a snake in the woods. But I can tell you one thing, I'll be morecareful to watch every stepfrom now on.
I hope you guys/gals are doing the same. Be safe and g/l closing out the season.
