A good Rattle snake

[CaptainMal]

There is a woman that owns deer tracking dogs near my place outside Preston Ga. If you can't find a deer you wound, she comes for a very reasonable fee, puts her dogs on the trail and really does find them.

So what has that got to do with this snake topic? She will NOT allow her dogs to track deer from the archery season opener through October because of snakes. Seems she has both lost dogs to snakes and had some badly wounded by them. After it cools in early November, she makes her service available .



Even running tractor to put in food plots, I carry both a 22 mag NA Arms mini revolver with snake shot or the old K 22 Smith that worked here. This is relatively common in Georgia. Snake boots always.

I just wish I could find a comfortable pair of snake boots. Seems 12 EE is hard to find in a snake boot, one that is comfortable anyway.

Being a Yankee, I have never had an easy feeling when I have hunted states that have Mister No Shoulders. Surprisingly, I have never actually seen one when I have bowhunted FL, TX, AZ, LA, MO, MT, ND, SD...and they all have them. Have hunted other states during firearm or muzzleloader season with far less worries.

Spent a good amount of time on AZ and pattern tested my 45ACP with CCI snake loads. At 6 feet a bumblebee would hardly get through that 6" pattern. Am very glad that I never had to use it on a snake.
