magellan315 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 We have rattle snakes in florida, seen one so far in the last few years. For hikes in the woods I carry a treking pole, a collapsible hike staff. So when I start poking around for the cache its not with my hand. If you hear a rattle snake, back away fom it and don't make any sudden moves, hopefully it will go away. Throwing things at it will only make it madder, think about how you would feel if somone threw rocks at you. Quote Link to comment
Night Tracker Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Wayne, Rattle snakes just want to be left alone, since they have the best camo in the world you have to look out for them. They can be found in rocky areas, in shade when hot or in the sun when its cool. Most people are bitten in the hands when they reach to pick up something (look before you go sticking your hands or feet in places you can't see), use a stick to make some noise first. Wear snake gators if you must when in grass cover in snake areas. Be prepared, the more you learn about them the more you will respect them. I worry more about two legged preditors....
