My Hunting Hat

Well, my buddy and I ran into a big old 5 1/2 foot timber rattlesnake at the end of March.  It's the first one I've seen on our land, but it sure did creep me out.  My buddy spotted it first, and I had to stare at it for a while just to let my eyes adjust.  But when they did, I said "SHOOT IT!"  That's a picture of my buddy with the snake below.  He made a nice addition to my hunting hat and the metal sheath for my hunting knife  ;D.

Apologizing:  does not always mean you are wrong and the other person is right. 
It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

Yeah, I didn't think we had those either.  At least the first one I discovered was asleep!  Cottonmouths, on the other had, are common.  I saw something that I thought was a fish stuck in a puddle when we were turkey hunting late in the season.  I ushered my dad over, and when we walked up to the puddle, I saw the MONSTER cottonmouth slither out and the younger one jump in a puddle.  He didn't want me to take a shot because it was prime gobbling time (and to his credit, a bird did gobble close on the other side of the road, about 2 minutes later).  I kept throwing sticks in the puddle to try and coax the smaller one out, so I could take a throw with my knife, but he said "no sir, come on in," which I was NOT going to do.

If we shot at every snake we saw down here, there wouldn't be any other hunting going on.  Rattlers, Pygmy Rattlers, Cottonmouths and all the others.

I like the hat but I hate snakes. Yeah I know they serve a purpose and I don't go out of my way to kill one but they still creep me out!

Nice hat band and big snake!
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!
