I think these warm winters are helping snakes reproduce more

I got some at Academy. Magellan store brand. Nothin fancy but they feel good they are waterproof and regular price is $99. I got $10 off for Memorial Day military discount. I want some Chippewa but I’m not spending that much right now.

Academy price matches anything anywhere....plus gives 5 percent off. Guns or anything

This was a very cold winter

thats what I was thinking...

Nice, I may take a trip over to Gadsden to check some out. Didn't know about the military discount - thanks for that info. That Magellan snake defender looks like a good boot.

My daughter sent me this pic that someone posted on a snake some fellas killed up at Cartersville (of course everything on the net is true). If its legit - then wow!

He would have never even had to bite me for to hurt myself.

Yes that's a real snake but they're pushing it out right into the camera. It's called forced perspective. Same as long arming a bass or crouching down 6 feet behind a deer or hog to make it look like it's the size of a dang rhinoceros.

That thing is still a hammer of a rattler. I tried the boots out yesterday and they feel pretty good. I got a size up. They seemed to run small. The upper around my calf is a little big but I have skinny legs so other than that they were comfy

WTH - hats off to her, I'd have to turn in my man-card before I did that.

Last winter was normal i guess...but the few before that was hot

I killed one a few years ago was 62" with his head cut off, would have been prolly 5' 6" (66") head and all. Longest me and several others ever saw. He was skinny as a black racer. BTW, we have plenty timber rattlers up here, some real grown uns. I've yet to hear of one or see one that was confirmed 6 foot.

I killed that long one when we were cutting timber. The loggers were killing a monster every few days, they had them stirred up I guess . Good lawd there were some that would make a grown man have snake nightmares.

Really? IF it’s legit? Wrong species for that area, so........

I think I would've ran back to truck and got the 308 and shot that thing from oh say about 200 yds.

Its funny how a lot of folks just refuse to believe anything. Me and 3 fellers was developing about 80 acres on rail road bed road in 2007. It was small timber surrounded by houses. Maybe 100 acres of woods that connected then our other 88 acres almost touching it that is now open and named Legendwood which runs of Capshaw rd in Madison. We been workin that 80 acres for a year. We done laid most utilites and cut all roads. We cleared about half of the lots. I was running a tri-axle up and down those dirt roads moving dirt to our stock pile in the back. About 10am im drivin back empty to the trackhoe. I grabbed another gear, looked up and saw something with its head down crosdin the road about 100ft in front of me. Maybe closer. I thought it was a huge german sheppard for a split second. It looked at me then looked back down and kept on trotting across and slipped into the woods. It was an anteater! It was huge. Long neck, long snout. Long tail. It was black with long hair. I told my co-workers. We all laughed. I worked there for another year almost daily and never saw it again.

We got to remembering there use to be a petting zoo at the old flea market on hwy 72. That property was real close to us. A man told me a rich guy lived across the road that had tigers and all kinds of animals years ago. Who knows where this thing came from but it was definitely an ant eater i saw. Seen many on tv! We said...that explains all the huge scat we were finding. We kept finding small trees with the lower limbs broken off hanging like something was trying to climb up them. It was weird.

I honestly don't doubt what someone might actually see, hell I wasn't there. An old couple I use to know told me they saw a dang kangaroo beside Hwy 20 near Freeport, Florida in the early 70's, I wasn't there so there must have been a kangaroo out there. There are two landowners near Ponce de Leon, Fl that have Bengal tigers, one has wolves also. Maybe they might get out.

Nope - 200 is too close!!!

I saw a water mocisan this evening crossin the road in the g ville dam parkin lot. He was about 2.6ft long. Kinda skinny for a mocasin. He was in a hurry too. He made it out alive.

We saw a 3.6ft rat snake. Someone had just ran him over and killed him. About 100yds from the mocasin. I wish it was the other way around.

Killed this one yesterday in one of our pastures, all of this rain down here has them moving.
