Quote from: hoyt on April 02, 2015, 08:54:15 AMI've been struck at many times by poisonous snakes..mostly cottonmouths. Every time I can remember I was walking fast and would have stepped on the snake or walked right over it. I can tell you from experience it's a very hard physical maneuver to jump back and twist your body all the way around at the same time when your front foot is off the ground coming down with almost all your weight going forward...but it can be done.The last time I did it was due to a cottonmouth almost as big as the one in picture..which was about 4" dia. (one in pic. and biggest cottonmouth I've ever seen). It didn't strike and I almost stepped on it before it more less floundered off and then got into a coil. I first thought it was a baby gator it was so big around. I didn't kill it..or the big one that struck..I was running late getting to where I wanted to hunt or I would have since it struck at me. It was laying on some maidencane and struck high up towards my chest with that big white mouth wide open...I even made some kinda screech type noise as I twisted around.
