Snakes
 

Just a friendly reminder, snakes are still out. I have been in the hospital for two days now due to a water moccasin bite on my finger. Attachment 43339

You doing OK?

That's sucks. Hope the mark is not where they are cutting it off.

Yea, doing good. It just hurts....bad. I should be out the hospital tomorrow but will have to go through surgery to remove the dead tissue.

Ouch. I hate snakes!

Not good, hate them damn snakes, hope everything goes well for you.

Hope everything goes well but I gotta ask... What was your finger doing in snakes mouth!?

DanG!!! talk about add insult to injury!!! LMAO... All jokes aside, glad to hear u are doing well!

Haha, my finger ended up in its mouth while trying to sneak up on a body of geese and I didn't see him hiding in the ditch I was crawling in.

Did y'all get the geese??

Now that SUCKS!! all excited bout to skull drag some buzzards and boom! Snake bit.

Nope, had about 50 yards to go when I put my hand on the snake and got bit. I had two kids with me and I am glad I got bit and not them.

Did you get the snake?

Nope.....

only good snake ...is a dead snake...

Thought you can only crawl geese during conservation only ??

I thought if they were deprevating crops land owner and or farmer permission is only thing you need. What I think I heard because I was under the influence of the same laws but was told different recently

Not true.

This is what I read in the regs.

That looks painful man:eek:

Goose creeping is one of those laws that will not stand up in court and a game warden would really have to be pushing the issue to give you a ticket. Much like shooting crows, blackbirds, etc. the wording in the regs are in your favor. You can always say the birds were about to 'predate' a field:)

Man I hope you get better

Shot a copper head a couple of days ago...I HATE snakes! Almost stepped on it.

"W" do you always have to be a Butt Head?

Thanks, dr just lanced it open to allow it to drain. Should be able to go home today.

That's good news.... Maybe you can get back at those geese soon.

Keep us updated on your progress.:)

It's just natural; he don't care bout others.


I sure hope that finger gets better and u regain full use. Scary stuff!!
Ill add ya to my prayers.!!

Ooooouch!!!!!!

is that your trigga finga?

Illegal or not you wont be seeing be crawl any geese after seeing this!

Hope all is well

Wow!!!! I would have SHAT in my pants if I had gotten bitten! I would have panicked and would have panicked and had a heart-attack!

Twice?

so nice he had to say it twice...... Dont hate

I got released from the hospital today and I'm now home. Have a drs appointment tomorrow to see about cutting out the dead flesh around the bite area. It was very hard not to panic when I saw the snakes mouth after it bit me and I realized it was a cottonmouth but my son and his friend was with me (both 11 years old) and I didn't want to freak them out. My son was already in tears on the way to the hospital. I have to say that all the stories about how painful cottonmouth bites are are very true, it hurt and still hurts like a sum b***h!

Nope, my other hand.

How instant was the pain when it struck? Did it take awhile? Get worse? Ever feel dizzy or anything? How long from the bite til you saw the doctor? Did you wrap up your finger?

Just really curious, sorry for all the questions:rotfl:

The bite itself felt like getting stung by a group of wasp at the same time. It took about 20 minutes to get to the hospital and the Dr was waiting on me. It was starting to burn when i got to the hospital. The actual pain started when my finger started to swell (about 40 minutes) and has not gone away yet. I never really got dizzy or sick the whole time. All I did after I was bitten was squeeze my finger with my other hand until I got to the hospital and the nurse made me let it go and told me to just let it bleed and hold my hand above my heart.

Dayum... That sucks, hope everything works out and thanks for the "heads-up"...

The only way to get rid of that curiosity is to let one bite you

I highly recommend against this. 😲

Wow, the same thing happened to my brother a few years back. Who knew theat creapin dem geese could be so dangerous. Hope you heal up soon.

Been bitten by plenty of ratsnakes, I am good on the venomous ones:rotfl:
