Title: close call with a rattler today!!
Post by: clarksvalley on August 13, 2011, 09:46:23 PM
rode my bike back a gated forest road to check my trail camera today.got to  the food plot, stashed my bike the high weeds.
hiked by in only 1/4 mile off the plot to change sd cards.on the way out went to grab my bike,when i reached down for the
bike i heard the rattle and saw the rattlesnake going thourgh the grass not afoot away.i think i could of beat carl lewis as fast
as i high stepped it across that food plot with my bike in hand.man,it still makes the hair on back of my neck stand up.

I had a close call with one this Monday at work.   I was walking around checking erosion controls and walked up on one.  Luckily it let me know it was there before i got too close.  Glad you made it out ok.

Glad he did not strike you, that is what the .410 - 45 hand gun is for (dead snakes do not make more snakes).

You mean your bike would now have a "gel" seat on it?  :P

Glad to hear you heard it and saw it but didn't feel it.
