More lease fun

[Chunky]

So after I shot my doe, I dropped her off at camp along with my bow, quiver, and video camera...and went to pick up my daughter Kelby.

When I went to open the gate to the other pasture, something moved right at my feet. There, about 7 or 8 inchs from my boot was a 3 ft rattlesnake. he coiled and started buzzing at me. Hum, I never really worry to much about them as you see them so rarely. I backed away slowly and he didn't strike. Do you think they can bite through a rubber boot?

This one could have gotten me if he would have wanted to. I had not a thing to kill him with....even though he gave me a pass I probably would have.

I went and got KJ and her bow, but alas he was gone and we could not find him. What he was doing out on a cool rainy day, I will never know.

Really wouldn't have made any difference if he could or couldn't bite through rubber boots; I would have died of heart failure!! Glad it all turned out for the best!

Certainly he would not have posted up that he got a doe and left out that kelby had shot a big 8 pointer?

I hate snakes

Kelby did not see the big 8, she said she could have taken does and even cull bucks, but it is trophy or bust...so she just waited it out.

I didn't ruin any pants, in fact, I didn't even get an adrendline jolt. I have always been cool with snakes and caught and handled plenty of poisonous ones. Now if it had been a big hairy tarantula, that might have been different. NOT FOND OF SPIDERS

The folks who own the place where we hunt told us they have been seing a lot of rattlers lately, so I wore my snake boots last week. They are hot, but I figure sweat will wash off. Did not see any myself, but one of the guys killed a big one at our cabin so we are being extra careful. This drought must have affected their food sources.

It very well may have made it thru your rubber boots Mark. Glad it didn't strike.
