Coach,
I have a supply of #6s besides #7.5 so I will take your wise advise and switch to #6s.
Most snake defense distances are probably 5 feet or so.

My first "encounter" was "contact" and basically a dry bite.

None the less,a 1 and 1/2 hour stay at the hospital was $5,000.

Guess who now wears snake gaitors?

I have some #4 2 1/2 inch 410s (I think) want me to check and send them to you?? PM me.
