I just got done bashing the guy in the coral snake thread but I guess this is how it happens, atleast you weren’t dumb enough to touch it.

GCART are you new to Hunting and the outdoors?

LOL - Nope to latter, but I aint touching no snake - poisonous or not. Would have shot-em if I had recognized him properly; I keep a special CCI round for such encounters.

I asked my wife this morning how old she was when she learned the "red touching yellow kill a fellow" saying. She said maybe 6 years old. Same for me.

I spent summers from age 8 er so on the Cahaba River, unsupervised by adults, learned early to ID snakes. I caught a couple of cottonmouths when young , inc a 42+ inch one...damn near got bit. Got bit by a cottonmouth when I was 16, dry bite with little swelling. Saw a buddy bit by a copperhead when I was 16, he lost a LOT of meat on his right thumb, nasty, nasty, nasty. I quit catching them right then. got hit by a 5 foot Timber Rattler in 1985 in west Greene Co, another dry bite with some swelling. I had a growing cyst removed from the bite spot 9 years later.

I figure three times is a charm...I'm not getting bit again if I can help it. My policy now is to kill any dangerous snake as quickly and safely as possible....gun, truck, tank, flamethrower, whatever is handy. If in doubt I ask Ben for advise on what to do. grin


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

The first timber rattler I ever saw was when I was cruising a tract up at Abel Mall. 40 ac surrounded by national forest land. I was close to a creek when I stopped to take a point. Jabbed my stick in the ground, looked down, and my foot was about 2" from that SOBMFer. If you were within 10 miles you should have heard me hollering and screaming when I jumped. After I I took my underwear off, I picked up a rock about the size of my fist and hit it. It just rolled around for a min and coiled back up. I hit it again, same result. Third time I was mad/scared whatever you want to call it and drew back hit it with all I had. The snake just rolled again but this time it went off toward some canes on the creek. This was the FIRST time it rattled during the whole altercation. This was middle August and I have always heard "dog days" make them mean. Not this one. Yes I was wearing chaps.

For the rest of the time until I finished the tract, every time I would step on a stick no bigger than 3/8" in diameter I jumped.

Not sure why you needed to remove your underwear before assaulting an innocent snake.
Rattlesnakes aren't mean or aggressive. You probably scared the hell out of him with the underwear episode.

Too funny, but I've been there. When my daughters were young they came and got me because they found a rattlesnake in back yard. When I saw him he was already coiled up and pissed-off; sucker actually came at me for a few feet before I punched his ticket. Usually, they will move on or let you pass by, but just like copperheads--if you get one mad, he will come at ya.

If your ever looking to get a Mossberg 702 Plinkster...do yourself a favor and buy the Rossi branded version of the same gun. .Better stock, better sights and sling swivels. Same cost.

I had a timber rattler come at me last year when I was on the tractor. I saw it crossing a fire lane and when I got within 15-20 feet it stopped. I stopped the tractor to see if I had anything to kill it with, assuming it was about to go into my young pines. I ended up having nothing but a claw hammer so I started to drive forward hoping I could run it over before it got in the pines. When I got within 6 or 7 feet it turned around and came at the tractor, struck the front tire then kept going under the tractor. I backed up and ended up getting a front tire on it eventually. I know it struck the front tire twice and I had 2 separate places with venom (or slobber or something) dripping down.

Invested in a set of Gaiters this year. In reading some of these post - sounds more and more like a smart move.

Dang!!! That's a big one. Probably would have had a underwear problem like OutBack. I ate a few in my day, but never wanted to mount one - but admit they do look cool all coiled up mounted.
