When i was a teenager - me and a buddy use to wade a swamp on his land to get to a beaver dam and he had dynamite and we would blow up the dam

One time while wading that nasty swamp - he turned and started shooting down toward me knees - we wer about knee to low thigh deep n swamp - snake floated up right at my legs

It was startling - but we just kept on going and shot some more nutra rats and blew up the dam like we always did - prob should hav been more scared - lucky I did not get bit r shot 🤣🤣
