With Spring almost in full bloom, watch out for snakes! Turkey hunters, carefully check the area around where you are going to set-up. Wear snake proof boots, if possible. Most of us set-up before daybreak, so make darn sure your area is snake free. I’ve had a few rattlesnake scares, however, no close calls. I’ve killed several.
