Donald, I used to think the same thing, still do to a certain extent. I do not hunt when snakes are active, so I do not run into any while coon hunting fall and winter months. I was always more worried about my dogs getting bit than myself. Over the years I used to hunt year around and never seen many snakes while hunting. I hate to think how many I passed by that I did not see. Lol. Dave
Good news Dave. I just read that scientist did a study on rattle snakes using a fake leg. They put a boot on a stick and "stepped" on rattle snakes 175 times. It resulted in only 6 strikes. The other 169 times the snake was trying to get away. So you can start summer hunting again. You can probably step on ten rattle snakes before one bites you. Plus, some of the bites were dry bites.(No venom) Further increasing your chance of survival.
