I have been deer hunting in Alabama for about 30 years and never came across a snake during deer season. Has anyone ever came across any snakes in the woods during gun season in Alabama?

Yep. Saw several during bow season and almost stepped on a Pygmy Rattlesnake, late into November, in Barbour County.

Mid January, a few years ago, I found myself sharing a shooting house with a rattler (it was nearly 70� for the high that day). Needless to say, I vacated the shooting house quickly!!!

I killed a rattler in the snow in north Tuscaloosa county in 2003. He was trying to cross a paved road.

rattlers in bow season, mocs ALL winter inc early Jan when it was 30 degrees...two different times.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Killed a water mocassin in Aliceville several years ago swimming past me as I was dragging a deer from a beaver dam swamp. Had a buddy with me to back me up as telling the truth.
I can't stand a thief.

About stepped on a big ole water moccasin the week of Christmas in the TNF. I mean a BIG OLE FATTY!!! Had to cross a little creek and walk down the other side to get to the truck. If he hadnt slid off into the water I'd a stepped right on him. Last thing on my mind. Cold morning but was warming up at lunch time.

Plenty down here. Moccasins mostly in swampy areas but see a diamond back every now and then in winter.

Had a buddy get bit New Year's Day back in the early 90's.
I've seen lots of them in early turkey season when it's still cold, but none hardly during rifle season.

I don't ever see anything but king snakes on our lease. In 5 years of having it there hasn't been a single venomous snake killed on the place, but so this summer I've killed 2 cotton mouths, a rattle snake, and a copper head on the road near my camp

Lots of rattlesnakes and copperheads in bow season, saw a rattlesnake in Barbour Co in January two seasons ago (temp was 50's though), but I'm not sure I've seen poisonous snakes during Spring turkey season oddly enough.
We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.
