I'm on a ga turkey forum also and I bet 75% wear snake boots and write about snakes a lot. I know a lot of turkey hunters and foresters here in ms and nobody wears snake boots or worries about them very much. What about you bama woodsmen, do slot of you wear snake protection?
I wear them all the time in AL and FL. Had too many close calls with cottonmouths hunting Big Cypress. Haven't seen as many up north but wearing boots keeps you safe in case you miss spotting that cottonmouth, copperhead or rattler. They're hot and need to be broken in but after break in they're comfortable and an insurance policy. Why take a chance.
