Yuk...'can't stand them.

And attack mode with no rattling is now their current biological evolution. Wildlife biologists in TX are saying that their genetics have evolved that way as a survival mechanism since the rattling gives them away to hogs.

Training area at work has them everywhere. Have to watch every step. The 5-footer pictured was waiting in the dark in 44-degrees. I was shocked it wasn't underground, and that it could move. Woulda stepped on it if it weren't for NVGs.

Little venomous bastards, I've looked at bite-proof gaiters a few times, if I was there I'd definitely invest in a pair.

Is that a ColdSteel Tanto or a custom blade?
