Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rattler pic and Danner Sharptail Covey Snake boots

I need a new pair of Danner Sharptail Covey GTX snake boots badly! If you have a pair in 12 or 13s to let go of please let me know.

I actually bumped into this guy, Mr. Canebreak , yesterday turkey hunting. I am 6'4" for reference.



Thanks.

Nice belt ( or two! ).

Damn a Snake!

Strick9,

I have a pair of the Sharptail Covey GTX boots and like them pretty well. Unfortunately I don't know where you could find a pair unless you just luck into a left over pair somewhere. You might call Danner as they have an outlet store that could have a left over pair.

If you are set Danner's, they appear to have brought back the Pronghorn GTX lace-ups which they discontinued for a couple of years. I have a pair of those and like them as well as my Covey GTX's.

A lot of folks down here like the Chippewa's and they make a moccasin toe similar to the Danner's you were wearing. Snakeboots.com has a pretty good selection. http://www.snakeboots.com/

Did you barbecue it?

Phuc! I'd be running so phucin fast away from that damn thing...

You stood there and held it? for a pic?

U crazy dude...............

Damnn David you're nutz! Never saw one quite that big in low country. See any birds or are the yotes making their way with nature again this season?

Nothing in Sumter Forest. Heard but not seen. Controlled fires aren't helping either. Especially, around Molly's Rock.

BTW someone had some nice snake chaps in the classifieds.

Hope all is well.

David

I'd be thinking about taking up golf...............

I'm crossing off SC as a turkey hunting destination!

I see one huge problem in that pic.








The snake still has it's head attached.

Was that thing alive when the pic was snapped?

If so, are you crazy?

[bleep] thats a big ole snake

someone here collects snake skins for making bows IIRC

I bump into one or two a year that size in the swamps around here, it always pains me to kill them but there is no way I could live with the guilt associated if a youth or a friend along with me got hit by one that size or any other venomous snake that I let live.

BYC, yea the birds are starting to holler good but yes the yotes are terrible on the Turkeys. We had little luck on killn the yotes this year as the woods are so thick they are in and out to the call before ya know they were even there.

I wouldn't say this rattler was dead in the pic but he was numbed down abit by my glassy stare.

The business end of the game

I won't sleep a friggin wink tonight on account of that picture.

Isn't that the truth. I bish about winter being long, but at least it gives me a period of time when I don't have to worry about snakes. Especially ones like the one in the OP. I see something like that and it'll automatically be turned into 2 snakes of roughly half that size, each with a ragged section at one end.

I hope that sucker is hibernating for good. The only good rattler is a dead rattler.

Glad it turned out GOOD for you,

and not that double-barreled venom injector!

Have fun buying your new Danner boots, and bagging a long-beard or two.

I HATE rattlesnakes. Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em.

Yes, I'm a hater.

No schit.....the man has balls of steel IMHO!

You can find the nastiest alley, put two of the nastiest dudes you can think of at the end of it and I'll go in without my gear before I'd be picking that [bleep] up. I'd "fan shoot" my shotgun until it clicked at it as I backed away, though.
