Had this guy by me yesterday. This is the kind I like to have around my shop. He must been hypnotized by the light.

Walking to the bathroom at medota last year. This is healed but he bit me twice.i didnt realize it cause i was walking in tall grass and bumpy ground but i remember i almost rolled my ankle.got back to the truck and my leg got itchy and i saw the marks.they were pretty deep.where it ate flesh.barely broke the skin.
good thing i had thick socks and fleece lined pants.

Nope. I dont think it got in my blood stream.im thinkin it was a old one.but it felt like bug bites that itched and burned.they left lil holes where the flesh went bad.i put alcohol and ointment.and it got better.i did have a headache for 2 days tho.never got swollen or anything crazy
Parker did it again barking at this guy

Damn Lee that's too many!
If you do get bit circle the bite/swollen area write the time down on the skin check it and circle it as it grows with time stamps as needed.
After a hunt I was hanging out near the campfire. I hear leaves russling behind the oak tree and it's coming right to us......it clears the tree and sure enough it's a rattler
I had a guy get bit on a Tejon POR who said he had a strange taste in his mouth almost at once after the bite, thank God we were close to the road. They Helo him to the hospital, it was going that bad real quick.
I'd also mention get the rattler vaccine for the dogs. I had an 18-lb jagd terrier get a blind strike while running by one, she lived with very little side affects. But she could not get the shot ever again due to the amount of venom in her system. They said over time it should fad away but I never bothered with it again. She was a rattler Bay dog after the bite incident.

It was under the small deck back porch, if it wasn't for Parker (coon dog) I never would of known.

Happiness is a warm gut pile
All you dog owners, get your dogs snake trained, they have no instincts about them and will likely go investigate and put ther nose on it.
