Fellas, take extra precaution when slipping through the woods during these last few days/weeks of the season.... this warm weather has the snakes out... Just killed a water moccasin in my driveway..... He wasn't real aggressive but moving along none the less....

Earlier in the season when it was warm like this and we hunted the WMA for the weekend we saw something like 5 or 6 cottonmouths between the 8 of us.

I only have to worry about rattlers on the lease in MS, and I have yet to see one, but we kill 2 or 3 every year during summer/early bow season

Last week when I was coming out, I was about to cross a log over the path I went in on. As I was about to swing my leg over I noticed a cotton mouth on the log right where my nut sack would've hit.

By the time I found a good beat stick he was gone.

One of the only good things about being stationed up north right now! For some reason, they just don't seem to care for snow very much.

We shot one yesterday that coiled up to strike when our beagle walked past it. Beheaded by 7-1/2s
