Buying snake boots tomorrow for my annual pilgrimage to Florida to hunt turkeys. The great thing about snake boots, they do little to protect your A$$ when you are hurrying to sit and hide when a big tom goes gobble, gobble!<br /><br />Last year we saw several pygmy rattle snakes but we ran over them with the truck. lol.Rabid Outdoorsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620678221540593118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064301280105839829.post-20282099973793170602011-01-27T08:02:21.247-05:002011-01-27T08:02:21.247-05:00DEDH- Thanks man, I try!

You may melt during the summer months when temps reach the high 90's but other than that you would be OK! As far as me up north.....I guess I could put on a LOT of clothes because I would love to try my hand at some of the things that you guys do!! Even lobster fishing!!! Thanks for being a good sport and I fully expect for you to return some of the ribbing that I have been sending your way!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825917905816236152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064301280105839829.post-10233130248377016542011-01-26T20:58:50.256-05:002011-01-26T20:58:50.256-05:00Okay, I've started responding then deleted bac...Okay, I've started responding then deleted back so here goes...<br /><br />Several years ago, I took my wife on our honeymoon to Disneyworld. It was during Christmas vacation and when we flew out of Bangor, Maine it was 8 degrees. When I dove into the pool in Orlando, it was 58 degrees. For some "weird" reason I had the entire pool to myself. So then the next day we're at Animal Kingdom and I'm wearing a tank top and cargo pants. This employee waddles over and asks me if I'm crazy. She went on to explain that she was wearing all of her winter wear plus extra thermals. So either I'm tough, or well I won't go any further...<br /><br />As far as the snakes are concerned, holy crap... never liked them, guess I'm scared of them but I've never actually been in the field down south so I suppose it's not as bad as I think. Still, you've got some guts to embrace mayhem like that...<br /><br />Next hypothermia can happen anywhere, and in Maine it's during all seasons. Once the factors kick in (air, water, contact, etc.) then the body struggles to maintain heat. In the later fall and early winter, our water temperatures get below 40 degrees while they peak around 60 in the summertime. Either way, Maine water will force any person over time into hypothermia. Fortunately, we prepare for it and exercise much safety in what we do especially now that we have children. That's part of the reason I do more ice fishing in January now as opposed to chasing sea ducks. The key to staying safe is proper gear, smart company, good decisions, and eternal readiness. We just had a student at the University of Maine get frostbite while walking across campus this weekend. He simply was not dressed for the conditions and paid the price. During that same weekend, I went out into the woods searching for deer yards and a spot for a new stand. Not once did I chill in four hours. I suppose the above factors would apply for rattlesnakes, with the correct gear and plan of action. <br /><br />Finally, I'll sum up this long winded response with two things. One, we'll figure out a time down the road to get you sea ducking... and two, please leave the rattlers in the gopher tortoise holes when you do get "downeast"...<br /><br />If you're tough enough, I'll let you wrestle some lobsters...<br /><br />Nice post man, albeit crazy...<br /><br />DEDHDowneast Duck Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445000557200149121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064301280105839829.post-40066840552954299552011-01-26T17:58:30.897-05:002011-01-26T17:58:30.897-05:00I remember going to the Rattlesnake round up!!
