Herping in Rattlesnake territory

[ianrambell]

I hunt in rattle snake territory. I just look where im going. Theres realy not much to do but dont get bit haha. I would say just avoid them. If I see one I always pick it up and move it somewhere else.

All you can really do is... be careful... like Stefan said

I have a few rules.... one is that I never go herping by myself (unless it's around where my house is) and I always carry a cell phone on me or make sure whoever I am with (usually eddie) has one. I do this for more reasons than a possible venomous snake bite. Being a woman... it's honestly not a good idea to just go trouncing around any wilderness by myself... because should I happen upon someone with not so good intentions, it would be highly unfortunate. I probably will never go herping by myself unless I carry a pistol.

One thing I want to do before I die is catch a wild rattlesnake. Hopefully not like 5 hours before I die

Is it a bad thing that she is empowered to protect herself from people with bad intentions? Without the pistol she is at the mercy of the criminal, or bear for that matter - doesn't matter where she lives. Better safe than sorry.

I think the above comment was made in jest.

Everytime I go herping/hiking I bring my 9mm. Every single time. I also like to drag someone with me. I hike on state game lands, not private property, so there's no telling who I may run in to. The Pa Game Commission enforces laws for hunters hunting out of season. The reason these laws exsist... because hunters hunt out of season. I sometimes cross paths with people out in the middle of no where. The bad reality is not everyone has good intentions. I atleast like to level the playing field. Give myself a chance God forbid anything bad goes down...

HOWEVER - a 9mm wont protect your knuckles/hands or calves from a rattlesnake defending itself. Walk carefully. When I flip rocks I like to double check where I place my vulnerable hands.

your wrong theyre not hunters if they hunt out of season ur talking about pochers! we hunters are only concerned about preservation of wildlife...we hunt to fill our quota for herd managment...the #1 eason deer die in texas is by starvation by limiting food due to over population
