They're usually territorial so you probably haven't seen the last of him. I gave a pass to a pigmy rattler about a 1/2 mile behind my house near a trail and later in the summer me and my German Shepard were on that trail again and he got bit in the exact same spot on the trail. It taught me a $1500 lesson. It was touch and go for the dog for about 4 days but he finally pulled through. I still don't kill them all but if its somewhere me and the dog spend time I git rid of em.

Pygmy rattlers really seem to have "Little Man Syndrome", the ones that I have came across were aggressive and had bad attitudes.

Here are two that I have came across over the last 3 weeks. Both very relaxed and non threatening. I used to hunt a lease in middle Georgia that was bordered by the Oconee River and was primarily swamp land with big, wet sloughs and palmetto bushes. This land had an incredible amount of snakes, I came across 6 timber rattlers in one weekend while bowhunting and cottonmouths seemed to live in every other slough.

Hunt in Georgia too. My snake boots are as much a part of my equipment as gun, shells and calls. Have no quarrel with them.

That's a healthy snake population. After moving to NC, I went and bought snake boots for my spring time adventures
