There are ZERO toothy snakes on the home ranch. Yet I still wear my snake boots for the great ankle support.
I have hunted LOTS of places that venomous snakes are. Saw a few WDB's in Texas and a BIIIIIIG freakin' prairie rattler in Nebraska. But it ain't the ones I see that bother me. It's just THAT ONE that I didn't see that has me wearing the boots.
