Went dove hunting Sunday evening. Saw lots of birds, was picky with the shots I was taking bagged some birds. After the hunt I was loading the car. Had eveything in the trunk went to open the door to load my dog and felt a weird sensation on my ankle. Look down to see a damn snake! Hop back to the trunk pull out my gun, load it and shot the snake.

I HATE SNAKES!!!

what kind of snake bit you?

You alright?

Man that sure stinks!

Was it a good snake or a bad snake

Well hae alive enough to post on the THF mustuv' bin a copperheaded rattle backed grass snake.

And so we here the last of Fooshman

somebody might want to call him and make sure hes not passed out due to snake bite

Man, you feeling all right? Did you let anyone look at it?

He made it home to make this post and thwn went to the hospital.
You ok Foosh? I hope you had on snake proof boots.

Gotta have snake boots! Especially South of I-10

IF he had snake boots he WOULDNT have gotten bit

But some people, like myself, will change shoes in the feild...I wear flipflops to the lease then get my knee high snake boots on when I get there, ready to hunt.

We have never seen a snake in or around where we park. Dunno if he was out earlier because of the cooler weather or not.

This actually happened the day I decided to just wear my running shoes. Never again! Felt like an electic fence and stung slightly for some time after.

My gf was freakin' out saying "We are going to the hospital!" I told her to turn on the headlights so I could tell if I was screwed or not lol. Picked up the three pieces of the snake to check it out. When looking at it I knew it wasn't a Cottonmouth or Rattler, I just wasn't sure if it was a copperhead or not. Looking at my ankle I had a couple of spots that could have been puntures and a couple of long slight scraps (I guess I have pretty fast reactions). So, instead of the hospital I told her to follow me to her parent's house which is closer. It ended up being a rat snake. So, I scrubbed my ankle with hot soapy water and then put some alcohol on it.

Rest assured I am good to go. Just gunna keep a better look out from now on and wear boots.

Poor snake and one of the good ones

Yep, Poor snake.

Glad your okay, brother.

You did right though...kill em 1st identify the brand of snake later

The dude got bit by a freakin snake with a gun in his hands. I would expect no less than a dead snake of anykind.

Fooshman did the same thing i would have done...dead snake

I would have done the same thing. The only diffrence there would be, that before we went to the hospital, we are going to the car wash to clean out my drawers.

Who said white men can't jump, throw a snake in front of me and you would think it was Michael Jordan.
