Rattle snakes and Little man

[joevillars]

I have a 5 year old son that is hooked on hunting. What should I buy him or get him for the new lease. His momma is a little worried.

I wear snake boots and carry my daughter. Ha.

When my daughter was younger I bought her gaiters and cowboy boots. That way as the grow you are not having to replace snake boots each time. It work very well. I think Everlast sell them for kids

[Mrsailfish]

When my boys were little I also bought them gaiters that wrapped around their legs and stayed on with Velcro

Check out Turtleskin gaiters. They are expensive but very lightweight and comfortable. They come up to my knees so they would protect well up the thigh on a youngster that age.

This is what my daughter has with a good pair of leather cowboy boots. She is 7 and they took a little getting used to but it's worth the piece of mind.

What part of the state will y’all be in?
It is really amazing how few rattlesnakes I have encountered in my 55 yrs of hunting Texas.
But it only takes one so those gaiters sound like the ticket. When he gets older,
I wore the chaps when I was quail hunting.

With young ones that age it’s not so much the walking snake bite but they tend to want to grab and touch everything.

We found a bay one so I showed him what they look like and how fast they strike. He knows not to mess with them and to get away from one. I’m just trying to be a little on the safe side.

gaiter at that age, when he's a little older Academy sells snake boots for young's at about $100.
I bought my grandson a pair to go hog hunting in July , first day he got on a big Timber Rattler, well worth any cost. They lasted two years, so $50/year for insurance.
