Post by: Chris Calohan on April 30, 2015, 08:08:05 am: I've been shooting out there for over three years now and have yet to pick up a tick...probably only a matter of time but I do take the precaution of tick spray on my shoes/socks.

Unless you are wearing thick leather boots and some gaiters I'm not sure it would make that much of a difference.

It was silly and I did chide her for going out there in flip flops but more for the dangers of ticks than snakes.

Post by: RSL on April 30, 2015, 03:06:19 pm: Yeah, there's that too. There aren't that many snakes around here in lake country either, but one day I watched a worker kill a water moccasin next to the river. All it takes is one.
