[QUOTE="scn, post: 5345094, member: 1859"] We have a healthy population of timber rattlers and copperheads where I turkey hunt. I was just sent a picture of a big rattler that I probably have been close to at some point this spring. While those snakes don't bother me as much as the cottonmouths some of you deal with, I still have a healthy respect for them. And, given the fact that I normally don't have a light on as I walk into a listening area before daylight, it makes stepping over some of the "sticks" laying in the logging roads an adventure. I have a pair of Danner snake boots that are like wearing a pair of tennis shoes. Unfortunately, even though they are Goretex and supposedly waterproof, my feet end up wet in them if it is wet out at all. I have been dealing with that issue with a pair of 15+ yr old Lacrosse boots and snake gators. It has been a good system. But, after using up a full tube of shoe goo on the boots to keep them from coming apart, I didn't have a lot of trust in them making it through the season as hard as I am on them. I remembered some one on here talking highly about the new Lacrosse Alpha Agility boots. I thought they might be a good replacement for my old Lacrosse. When I went to the website, I found they were also making that boot in a snake boot version: [URL]https://www.lacrossefootwear.com/men/hunt/boots/alpha-agility-snake-boot-17-nwtf-mossy-oak-obsession.html[/URL] Natchez Shooting Supplies had them marked down a little, so I decided to give them a try.
