If you are going to venture into a swampy or marshy area for fall hunting, you already know the dangers that can await you. Using the utmost caution will help to keep you safe, and one part of that is making sure that you wear a quality pair of snake boots when hunting in snake infested areas.
Snake proof boots extend from the foot to the knee, an average length of seventeen to nineteen inches. While snakes can strike at a distance of one and a half times their length, though most strikes happen below the knee. If you are unfortunate enough to fall face first towards a snake, well, hope for the best.
In addition snake proof boots will serve in more than just a hunting capacity. Their waterproofed interiors and leather exteriors provide the warmth and comfort for any number of outdoor excursions. Since the boot extends to the knee it also offers great ankle protection.
Not wearing snake proof boots offers clear disadvantages when encountering snakes, for instance a water moccasin. The water moccasin is similar to a copperhead and semi-aquatic in nature. This snake will stand its ground or even approach an aggressor (or trespasser) thus bucking the norm of snakes avoiding humans. They boast an average length of 30 inches and their fangs can penetrate regular shoes.
Water moccasins tend to latch on rather than release. The longer they're attached the more venom is released. The venom of a water moccasin digests the tissue surrounding the bite. Symptoms include swelling, pain and occasionally tissue death which requires surgical removal and occasionally skin grafting. Few bites are fatal although the recovery time can be in excess of two to six weeks. Snake bite is also a poor end to a hunting trip.
