Just curious on how many of you wear snake chaps. I do not have any and thinking about getting some but i do not want to pay a hundred bucks for them. I do not see many snakes but latley we have seen some good rattlers.

Try Cabelas, they have several sets under $100

Not chaps, but I wear a zippered snake boot:

Actually I thought that those chaps would work great on thorn, briars, cattus, etc...as I remember they were tuff. Might stop a bullet ? or at least a BB

No snake or chaps boots-...."Oh! Sh$@#" !!!
Snake boots-...Less Drama, but still "Oh Sh*&#"

Snake boots or chaps-about $100
Trip to hospital for a rattler bite-$15000 to $40000

Look on my face as I danced with that rattler! Priceless!!!!

Oh to be that lucky. I average killing 12 to 15 a year around my house, thanks to my dog Dixie. A few years ago, we pulled 20 out from under my house that I found while crawling around under there doing some plumbing repair.

OH YA-- Remember that post quite well, HA!! Have talked about that one to people up here many times, would more than make the old mustache curl up as your reaching for some wet ones!!!!

Up around our place we have 4 layers of chicken wire fence to keep them out of the yard have to go out and kill them every morning during the summer so yes I wear my snake boots when hunting year around.

Years ago, I bought some knee length chaps at walmart for about $20 bucks. I've never been struck by a snake but I have piece of mind while wearing the chaps.
