Can you see him

[Guest aBRG2far]

Be careful, warm weather is here and Mr Copperhead is out and about.

[Rightwinger]

yep, we see him.

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

That's some good camouflage. Took me about a minute of studying...

rightwinger ruined it, I scrolled before really looking, lol

I doubt I would have seen it. Heck them leaves and such looks just the woods where we were shooting yesterday and today. I heard something on the ground today but never saw whatever it was.

Where I hunt and play in Wayne Co, TN there are lots of these scary fellows. The first thing to remember is to keep your noise levels down when walking in the woods. Easy when hunting, not so easy with three kids and the wife chatting. They tend to move off quick when they feel you coming and you can hear them in the dry leaves. The other thing is familiarity. Deer can stand there and watch you walk by if you don't know what to look for. I can only explain it as I look for the triangle shapes in the leaves and they pop out pretty well once your eye is attuned to that. The bad thing is when they coil up and go quiet. Then you can mess up and step on or near them and they could get you!

Wear long pants (if you can go in the woods in central TN in the summer with shorts on and NOT get ticks and chiggers, I want to know what your spraying on!)

Wear ankle high walking boots at a minimum, calf high is better.

Walk with a walking stick to push them away if you get to close for comfort.

Good reminder aBRG2far. I had not thought of snakes yet this year.

I thought it was a person wearing a ghillie suit,and once I scrolled down I said:cool,this suit has a snake printed on the leg...ohh no wait

[Guest Halfpint]

Yet another reason I hike with a stick and a .22 (at minimum).

Reminds me of those pictures that were coming out in the 90's I guess that you had to stare at, kinda go cross eyed and the 3D image of something would come out. Once you found it, you could turn away and look back and find it without problem.

To quote Indy... "I hate Snakes."

[Guest Hooker]

I am wondering why there isn't a second pic with it hangin on a stick with a little mutilation?
