RE: ever been bite by a snake?
Not while hunting, but I have been struck or struck at by snakes 5 times, I used to go catch them when I was a kid. I only got a good dose of venom once (pygmy rattlesnake) while digging worms. It hurt, and my hand sweleed up pretty badly. I killed quite a few this past turkey season, but none got to take a swing at me.

Not bitten by anything with fangs, my pythons and corn snakes got me a few times. But, I did get to have a run in with a canebreak (timber) rattlesnake a while back. It was going under the wife's car as I was walking by it. #7 birdshot solved that issue very quickly.

Never bit but I have come close. Nothing venemous though. Used to try to catch garter snakes when I was a kid. I pulled a big black snake from my garage earlier this summer. He was betwee 5-6 feet long. I thought he was going to snap at me but he just took a defensive posture until I drug him out by his tail.
