Rattle Snake Safety
I shoot a lot out at the Pawnee Grasslands. I have seen a couple of Rattlers already this year. Got me thinking of investing in Snake Gators. Anyone use these or have suggestions (aside from situational awareness) to stay safe with these critters in such abundance?

Screw that.

I wore snake gators while doing some work in Louisiana several years ago. They are hot and uncomfortable but I was glad I had them because of the numerous Cottonmouths. I was never struck but came close several times.

Works great on snakes
I use these in .45ACP.. fully functions in semi-auto (M&P) Only drawback is you have to be pretty close- the spread is very wide (which is also an advantage)Originally Posted by XC700116
But if you're far enough away you have that much warning, then a shotgun is probably a better choice.

A decent set of boots that come up past your ankles as high as possible will prevent the vast majority of rattlesnake strikes from drawing blood. Usually, they just want to get away, not bite something they can't eat. Except right after they molt, then they are downright irritable.

I have a blowgun I want to go get some snakes with if anyone wants to point me in the right direction! I have only seen 1 in Colorado and I hunt a lot... I guess I'm just really lucky.. A couple stalks I did on my belly out east hunting pronghorn had me nervous but never ran into one.. Wasn't until I stepped over a prarie dog hole that I got a big wake up call
Whoa - no shit?Lake McConaughy posted a bunch of these pics yesterday of rattlers out in the water.

When we used to go to Big Mac frequently we were told by locals to stay towards the northern side of the lake. The south side has the bluffs and sand hills that favor the snakes.
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!
