I "ain't" allergic to poison ivey (yet). Copperheads ??? Probably

. Point well made. Copperheads are among the best cammoed snakes the Lord has made. Warm weather is here in SE Alabama. I'll be wearing snake boots Friday morning. I don't know of anyone anyone is marketing snake "drawers" .... (yet). If they were out there, some one would be buying them.

I have had two close encounters with snakes while turkey hunting. Luckily both were black snakes.

First time one crawled across my boots, he was on my foot before I realized what was happening.

The last time scared the bejezus out of me, and I am a person who thinks snakes are fascinating. I was sitting in a tight little clearing I made in some brush and vines along a field edge. With me sitting in my turkey lounger the growth was about to head level beside me. I was nice and concealed. Well, I heard a commotion to my left and as soon as I turned to look a black snake head popped out and I mean POPPED out of that brush about a foot from my face. I swear time stood still at that moment.

Heh, took me a while to see the snake in the pic. part color blind and going from a photo doesn't help. Digi, I bet when that black head popped out a little brown head popped out into your drawers, lol. I've had to chase a rattlesnake from my neighbor's steps just so she could go inside after getting home from work. Lucky me it didn't want to mess around and just left. Just remember everyone, be careful and be aware of your surroundings.
