Should they make life vests from Kevlar?

Sounds like an action filled Hollywood movie. Just like the guy who never
has to reload his 1911 .45, fires way more than 8 shots (7 + 1 in the
barrel), takes out the bad guys who are better equipped, and does this at
great distances while falling down.

You in a boat with a pistol. Guy on bank with a rifle. Yep, good choice.

Funny, that's never happened to me here in TX. Of course it's always a good
idea to boat armed, for snakes and such.

Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore because rough men stand ready to
do violence on her behalf.

Just curious, why would you shoot snakes?

Having had a 5 foot cotton mouth come in my boat, the answer is simple,
to protect my life,, but every snake in the water is not a cotton mouth,
and every snake is not a threat to you.

Last weekend we were cleaning up around our lake house when my nephew
yelled snake, and ran to his truck for a gun,, I came around the house
to see a perfectly harmless puff adder about 18 inches long, everyone
was yelling for the nephew to shoot the snake, and I said no,, and
showed them how well these little guys will play dead for them, even
with their tongues hanging out of the mouth, not moving, I would flip
him back on his belly,, he would roll back on his back and flop that
tongue out, then totally motionless. I showed them how harmless he was,
and how they had scared him to death,, there was no need in shooting
him, as he was already dead,, everyone laughed, and they then left him
alone. Perhaps I saved another harmless snake.

People down here kill every snake they see,, they don't even want to
take the time to learn the difference between those that will hurt you
and those that won't, they just say only good snake, is a dead one.

It would be better if they made fishing vests of kevlar (bullet and stab
proof). I've had several incidents with wackos while night fishing.

Maybe those folks should be asked if they would rather have an occasional
snake around or if they would rather share their food with alot of rats !!!

Rodney, not to turn this thread into a snake discussion, you are highly
mistaken...

1) Puff adders (Bitis arietans) do not occur in the United States, only in
Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan (thank God).

2) Puff adders are highly poisonous. Its venom is strongly hemotoxic,
destroying bloods cells and causing extensive tissue damage.

Check that Peterson Field Guide to see the snake you are speaking of, snake
id's are not to be taken lightly...

No I'm not,,, again :-)

Heterodon platyrhinos, Eastern Hognose, also known as the "The American
Puff Adder" (don't believe me ? do a search on the name)

Since it was quite clear I was not in the middle east, there could be no
mistakes made of finding the other one

Check that Peterson Field Guide to see the snake you are speaking of, snake
id's are not to be taken lightly...

I own that book as well as i/2 a dozen other reptile field manuals, down
here the Eastern Hognose is always called a puff adder, due to it
puffing it's self up to look meaner than it is, if this fails, then he
plays dead. About as harmless as a chicken snake,, oh I'm sorry,, a Gray
Rat Snake to you guys :-), we call them chicken snakes down here because
they are always getting in the hen house after rats

I Have spent many years afield, and I have caught many snakes, non
poisonous as well as poisonous ones, I know my reptiles, and I never
take them lightly
