I read once that 55% of venomous snake bites are males between the ages of 17 and 27, and 57% of all people bitten were handling the snake when they got bitten. It also said over 25% of folks who got bitten were intoxicated.
I bet most of those things line up.
That's one of those statistics that make you go.... Duh!
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I think we are seeing evidence of over population of snakes. We need to step up our game and kill more and quit letting any venomous snake live.
Sad times I second that motion and move to form a committee on the proper method(s) to dispatch the snakes - hoe, shovel, machete, or gun. Not sure if you seen any of my pictures but I can be a consultant on killing snake real good.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

I’ve taken care of a few people that were bitten by poisonous snakes. In every single case beer and/or illegal drug use and snake handling were involved.
GO NOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have never seen a rattlesnake “in a tree”. I was putting up a ladder stand once and came across a small timber rattler on a branch about 7 feet up. At first glance I just saw some movement and the colors, and assumed it was a rat snake because it was in a tree. Then I got a close look (too close) of its head and vertical pupils. I got a big cardboard box from the truck and put it on the ground beneath the critter, then shook it out, boxed it up, and relocated it to a spot we never hunted. Or, more precisely, where my partners no longer hunted after they saw me relocate it.
