It takes a special kind of hunter to hunt down here. Snakes are almost an everyday occurance in the woods.....

You don't have to go that far South to have snake trouble during deer season. About 10 years ago the owner of the camp ground we used to stay at in Southern Illinois killed a rattlesnake coiled up next to our tent and this was in November.....it was a mild year. Not uncommon to reachthe 70's down there that time of year and the second season the first of Dec. I'm always caerfull stepping over logs, etc.

Well, I am one bit sucker ...... cause I didn't see it until I cheated with the answer pic....

But when they are 3 demensional in the woods, I have no problems picking them out.

Thank God

My friend shot me a timber rattler when we were down a camp a few weeks ago. that suck is huge, but only has 5 rattles so fairly young

I was bitten once by a cotton mouth, and it sucks. I picked it out, but took a few seconds. I about got bit again this year while fishing a creek. I dont mind snakes, but when they catch you by surprise, they suck.

Are you sure it wasnt a brown water snake?? Those are most alway mistaken

Are you serious? No it was not a brown water snake. It was a cotton mouth aka water mocison (sp).

I am serious. What location were you at when this happened?

Couldnt see it until I clicked the attachment! Um..snake boots anyone?

we have loads of copperheads here in north arkansas and a few rattlers to go along with them.
