So i was turkey hunting today and didnt have any luck so i decided to look for some hogs. I walked about 100 yards behind the tree i was sitting under and nothing. So im walking back and i raise my foot and something catches my eye. I freeze as this 6 foot rattle snake is coiled up under my foot that i havent placed down yet. So i freeze with my foot up at it turns and looks at me. Im like OK either hes gonna bite me or i need to stay put until he moves.
It was either i kill him or he bites me. It was literally those options. I drop my shotgun off my shoulder (as im standing there with my foot still up) and put 00 buck in his head. He got pissed and i got him again at he was about to strike.
Now before i headed out i looked at my snake boots and my regular hikers. I decided to put on the snake boots. Thank god. And i never owned a pair. Iluv2hunt gave me a free pair. And this saved me alot of trouble today. And i cant thank him enough..
Oh well here are the pics.
:angel you had one lookin out for you today.way to play it :cool2 them fangs are just nasty
man.. i had a really rough night last night and a rattle snake bite from a 6 foot diamondback would of really drained the life out of me. Thank god for the way things go.
Those bastards are vicious and hard as hell to kill. What are you doing with the skin?
Man that was a big snake and I am glad it won't bite anything anymore. How do you cook it?
