Snake stories

This one I almost stepped on .
I was burning palm fronds next to the rim canal and as I was raking the coals I looked at where my foot was going , I swear I levitated over it .
It sadly did not survive the encounter.

This is probably the worst thread in the history of hunttalk. Thank you all for continued nightmares for the foreseeable future!
 
I could go on for days . One time I was guiding a man and two sons on Okeechobee. He was going through a divorce and the boys were 12-13 ish and very metro , as in not a clue how to fish .
The guy thought it would toughen them up .
I set up at Boy Scout cut out of Belle Glade fishing shiners on the weed line but we must have been too close to a nest because a four foot moccasin wanted in the boat .
Normally I would just push them back with the net handle but this one kept coming back .
As I was netting a big fish for one kid , the other tapped me on my shoulder and pointed down .
That snake was coming over the gunnel between my feet .
I knocked it down with my net , but it just sat there showing its fangs coiled up on the water .
So I took my Glock and shot it , or close enough to kill it .
The guy said -Yeah , you can take us back to the dock now .
Tipped me good though .
