Got bit on the finger by a Copperhead in Sept. of 07. I was not wearing snake boots. Were you wearing snake gloves?

I’ve never been bit or struck at, but I ALWAYS wear snake boots until it gets really cold. I’ve read stories, seen pics, etc. of folks who got bit... something like that has the potential to: 1) kill you, 2) put you in the hospital and have multiple surgeries (that is possible), or 3) make you miss the rest of hunting season. I ain’t doing any of that, so I wear ‘em.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Once with chaps. Fall in South Carolina. Felt like a man punched my calf. Cottonmouth.

I should have been bitten by a dozen cottonmouths when I was a kid. Only the Lord knows why I never did. I don't understand it. If I were to do the same thing today I would be tagged for sure. I've been wearing snake boots for a while now and rarely see them. Chalk it up to not worrying about em much anymore. I still look for rattlesnakes but the bigguns bwill always let you know where they are. The diamond backs are getting pretty rare around here so I don't kill em anymore.

Snake boots are like insurance. You hope you never need them but really nice to know you have them.
You haven't been blocked until you've been flock blocked!!!

Lacrosse rubber boots won't stop a rattlesnake from getting a fang into your leg. Ask me how I know.....
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Not boots, but Rattlers brand chaps saved me,
From a running Husqvarna. Only time I've ever worn chaps while cutting and only time I've ever hit myself with a running chainsaw. Those chaps stopped the blade.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Only reason I asked is my snake boots are out of commission and the only boots I have left are my lacrosse alpha Burlies I’ve never worn snake boots after November and usually just used them for work weekends and bow season. Just trying to decide if I want another pair or not Get some. Worth the insurance. Most are also very warm and waterproof.

Of all the snakey ass places I have walked through in my life the only time I have ever been bitten by a snake of any kind was on the concrete boat ramp at the Marina in Millers Ferry. Pulling a boat onto a trailer and stepped on him walking backwards. Bastage latched on just above my ankle. Thank goodness it just turned out to be a water snake and not a cotton mouth. It will make you shart yourself though.
