How I wish that is all we had we are ate up with timber rattlers and big ones, every once in awhile you will stumble across an eastern diamond back. The easterns are not near as bad as usually they will give you warning.Bigfoot":2zc6ipd3 said:Gaiters look comfortable. I'm assuming a good heavy work boot is enough to protect your foot?

He'd pulled through the gate and ran the rattlesnake over. When he got out to go close the gate. The snake got him . No rattle just nailed him. Almost killed him , 2 weeks in the hospital.
When he gets out he goes to a little bar south of Florence called the rattlesnake inn. Meets up with a little senioriata and ends up back at her place. Didn't know her husband had been following them. He gets lyndells shotgun out of the gun rack in his pickup. Walks in the house aims and pulls the trigger. Click. Wasn't a round in the chamber and I guess the mescun didn't know how to get one there.
He turns the gun around and beats old lyndell till he breaks the shotgun in half. Then sticks a 6 " buck knife in his eyesocket and breaks the blade off in his skull.
Lyndell spent a month in a coma, had to get a glass eye, never was right after that.................all because he didn't have snake boots. :cboy:
