EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Found this one when me and my brother were feeding dogs today.

The snake was 3 1/2 foot but still big enough to do some damage. My brother Will is holding him to show how big he is. The only good snake is a dead snake!

Luckily none of the dogs were bit

The smaller ones are the deadliest. They havent learned how to control their venom.

You guys and them dang snakes in Texas  :P If I lived there I'd have a dozen jack russells running loose 24/7. We got snakes, but nothing like what I see ya'll post every year.

oph hell NO. there would b hole all in the floor of my kennels if i found a snake in 1. i mite even have to cut the wire to get my dogs out and aint now way you would cach me holdn it afterwards. since on the snake topic. what is a good old time remedy to keep snakes away??? iv heard goats work, but what other old timey remedy?

Moth balls

Cats. Snakes will not deal with a cat around. If you don't like cats, then just find a local vet clinic and see if can pick up the used litter, then just sprinkle it around the outside of the kennels.

Snakes should have died with the dinasours. Im about to shut down my hunting a month early cause the snakes are out so bad. I probably wont actually shut down but I'll be scaning the ground and nervous  the whole time. How many of you have been bit or nearly bit while hunting? 

Goats really do work well. ;) That's the first rattler I have seen by the house in probably 4 years and we got rid of the goats about 3 years ago. We have cats around and they are wild, might be crossed up with a bobcat or something but this was only 100 yards from the house. The snake had my catchdog debo hemmed up in the corner.

Ive always heard snakes wont cross lime, I know some people that run a heavy line around their kennels and have zero snake issues.  It is supposed to really irratate their skin and they wont cross it.

in the summers in Texas its risky hunting i havent been bit thank God but i never want to! been real close one time walking down a creek and stood up opened its mouth and started coming after my jewels! i backed up and took off Watrch out guys a lady down my road already killed two rattlers

Our buddy Ben was walking behind us in a line getting to a bay, and a cotton mouth bit his Snake Boot... just was kind of stuck there. LOL! Good think he had on those boots or it would have been bad.  :o I'd suggest snke chaps to anyone hunting in Tx in the summer. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have. You know?  ;) JMO

I think it was cedar mulch that is supposed to keep them away. My grandpa thought a 410 did a real nice job ;D

I only had one freind get bit but I think he stepped on it or when he drug up a trap he dragged the snake. But it was night so we don't know.

Charles suck it up and go hug a snake ;D Just messing with you. The people I have known that were scared of snakes it was no joke. So if you did not think it was funny, sorry.

 uh NO dub. some of my co-workers in afghanistan put a snake in my toolbox when i wasnt looking and when i opened it, i fliped my toolbox, knocked over 2 more boxes trying to get away. when the shuttle columbia came apart and we went looking for the crew and debris, i got hemed up by a snake on a creek bank and dang near chit my pants and then cut it into k-bob size pieces.

I cant stand the dang snakes....one of my plotts was hammering on something last night...I knew by the way she was barking it was something...put on my snake boots and grabbed the shovel...I just had a feeling.  Killed a 3 ft cotton mouth.

Got a dog here that will find em n bay em, kill em and take em off in the woods and come back when he's done... I was bit by a copperhead last may while hunting stayed in the hospital for 4 days getting pumped with fluids! Hand swole up like a softball! I'll see if I can scrounge up some pics n upload em. Y'all be careful

Snakes won't cross sulphur

Matt with all the rain and the dang river i had this mornin, sulpher nor lime will last long. With 30min or so, my kennels went from slightly wet to 8" of water in them. I ran out n moved 4 dogs into the trailer built. They chewd their life jackets up the last flood we got  ;D
