I've been hunting in GA for 50 years. Never seen a venomous snake during hunting season. Not even turkey season. I've seen a few non-venomous snakes while dove hunting. I've ran across a few copperheads, one cottonmouth and one HUGE rattler while hiking during the summer.

The rattler was close to 6' and as big around as my forearm. His head was as big as my fist. That one got my attention.

My wife and I volunteer with a search team. I have a set of leggings that I rarely use on searches. I've been to Florida a few times and some places near the coast of SC and NC where it is a jungle. I just can't justify a dedicated pair of snake boots. Wouldn't wear them enough.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
