All my dogs are vaccinated now. I wear snake gators until it gets cold. I kick at dead birds before I bend over and pick them up to make sure a rattlesnake doesn't have the same idea.
I am glad to be here.

Boy that was gruesome. I wish I hadn't seen the pics. Glad to see you are all right, though. That's the reason I kill even the smallest garter snake around here. I hate snakes!! (And spiders)

I feel sorry for the young man that was bit and have a couple of friends without a calf on one leg and one with half a hand. I don't hate snakes as they do alot of good but I do hate it when folks and snakes cross paths and a person or dog is hurt or killed. From what I've seen it takes about as much time to heal from a snake bite as a grizz attach. There is no real end to rattlers it seems as thousand are killed in Texas every year at round-ups and such but the next year they are right back in the same places they were caught the year before.

Was thinking of making a trip out Western Oklahoma this November for quail. Do i need snake protection? The only other time i was out there it never dawned on me.
BTW: if anybody knows how the outlook is for Ellis and surrouding counties i'd appreciate your response.

I kill all snakes I can as I don't believe in discrimination.
That said, it this story true? The reason I ask is the prose sounds awfully mature for a 13 year old.

Well, that pretty much eliminated any guilt I may have felt about shooting rattlers. A friend lost a 90 pound dog in less than 30 minutes after it got bitten in the face, and this guy didn't like snakes to start with. On a quail trip with this guy about four years ago, I shot two rattlers on the same morning. I almost sat on the second one. Geez!

Actually the post op photo looks amazingly good for the amount of tissue damage this patient sustained.......  battle, as an alum of Ft. Sill and the western Okla area I would answer yes...be be aware and careful if its not pretty cold.

I kill all Copperheads on sight!
My Black Lab was bitten on the mouth, she lived and with no lasting problems, but had a tough go of it for a week.
