I can't find the snake or morels
! That's why I wear muck boots along creeks and in woods.
Back when I was younger, a friend and I were wading a creek to go fishing. He was about ten feet ahead of me when he thought he was stepping on a tree branch. This snake turned around and latched onto his thigh. He dropped his tackle box, pole and lunch in the creek when he saw what was on his leg and bolted. Luckily it was some type of water snake. An older fisherman on down the creek looked at his leg and said it wasn't a venomous snake. I still remember him saying something about two puncture "fang" marks to tell if it was poisonous.
It was scary at first but we still laugh about that little trip.
