johnnie blaze Report post Posted October 26, 2015 So I get the snake guards and been wearing them every day out here hunting. Hunting partners were giving me crap about it, we hadn't seen any snakes. Then, on the walk out tonight, my buddy dang near stepped on a big ol rattler! The leg guards aren't as funny anymore lol that's why you should be leading on the way out....sheesh, way to set up the pard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wife showed me those on facebook last night. Very important people realize in az these critters hang out around dens in winter months also sunning themselves on rocks.. so when climbing for good glassing point watch yourself! Bowhunter4life and i few maybe 6-\ yrs back were sitting on rockpile glassing pigs when hour or ao later below our butts in crack of rocks suddenly a rattler was buzzing from his wintering spot.. these faces describe my emotions over following 2 seconds..😮😖😤 Ok actually we laughed but also moved. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PelaPapas Report post Posted October 26, 2015 Scary stuff in those pics! I seen one crossing the road in front of me again this past weekend. It doesn't matter how far they are from me. If I see one, that's all I can think about for a good portion of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted October 28, 2015 About 8 years ago, I was in my backyard at night, and noticed about 12" of the back end of a rattlesnake that had crawled up into the base trim at the bottom of the house. I thought it might have gotten stuck and died. When I poked it with the flashlight, I found out it was very much alive, and very angry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
