I've enjoyed being in the woods for decades now. But over the past few years, I see myself becoming more and more concerned about snakes.
Especially now that I'm getting into hunting, I can't enjoy scouting the woods because I'm always watching the ground in front of me.
Since I've moved into southern Georgia, I've only seen snakes a few times and most of them were copperheads in my backyard or on the road near my house.
When I'm in the dense woods hunting or scouting, I have never seen a snake but I'm thinking of the big rattler's that exist out there. When I walk through ground cover I carry a stick always watching while tapping the ground to alert any snakes of my presence.
Unfortunately, it takes away from enjoying out there.
Are you as careful when in the woods?
Also, I do have a pair of waterproof snake boots RedHead brand of BassPro I bought a few yrs ago that weren't very expensive. I always have them on.
