    Oh yes the snakes are active and very aggressive down there this time of year. Move slowly and never ever step over anything that you cant see the other side of. Listen carefully for that faint rattle. probably ought to get some snake boots before you go. You most likely will be bitten at some point so why risk it, make sure they go up to your knees and you will be ok. If you see one don't look at it directly in the eyes......


    .........have fun[:D]

    Grew up not far from Gonzales. Snakes will be active on sunny days. I now live in Dallas and it is supposed to be 75 and sunny tomorrow and for most of the week. They will be out and about warming up this week. You'll have to see what the weather will be like next week. Overall, I wouldn't worry about it. Just watch where you step.

    Not to worry much about snakes. If there are hogs around they eat every snake they can find, they hunt the snakes down, one of the hogs favorit foods. I have hunted on a bunch of ranches in Texas and the hogs are a lot smarter than you think. And don't let those short little legs fool you, you can't out run them so make sure you have some type of tree you can get to if one charges you. Have fun.
    PS those white things called tusk that are sticking out of a big old bors mouth are not there for looks, they are razor sharp and they know how to use them. I had a hunting partner that was shooting hogs, got a bad shot on a big boar and it just really made the hog mad to get shot, he charged my friend and he was lucky that a tree was close by but the hog hooked hin just as he was pulling his feet into the tree. Well the hog finally left after about 30 minutes and I suppose the truck we were in also helped run him off. We asked him if he was OK and he showed us his boot. It had been split from heal to toe by the tusk on that old boar.
