Title: close encounter with rattler
Post by: scoot12 on September 05, 2011, 07:13:33 PM
My brother in law and I where moving a few tree stands around for the archery season and we where walking by my watering hole when he jumped back about three feet and yelled snake.  I stopped and the rattler was heading my way.  I stepped to the side and the snake went by me at about three feet.  I about soiled myself so today I ordered a pair of snake boots.  It was about four feet long and thick.  Did get some good deer pics though after my heartrate and his returned to normal.  Scoot
