That'll get your attention real quick!

Remember, when climbing out of a treestand, take your time and keep 3 points of contact, and..... Nevermind!!   ;D

I remember when I was a kid finding, Copperheads in the hayloft in the barn.  My Grandparents lived in great copperhead habitat they killed one or two a week, during the summer some times more.  Have seen people jump off ladders when they found Copperheads on the ladder as they climbed it.  Often times getting hurt.

I had two close calls with Copperheads, that was enough.  Glad we only have snow snakes in Alaska.  I usually get bit twice a year.  (For the uninformed, when we slip and fall, and get laid up for a couple of days.  We call that "Getting bit by the Snow Snake").  There is no real snakes in Alaska.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
