More than likely, he never got a dose of venom. A large percentage of defensive strikes by rattlers are dry bites, where no venom is injected.We penned him for the rest of the day, but he never showed any signs of toxicity.
Only time I ever wore chaps was when working cattle in mesquite. That way, I only lost shirts
Ha, that's near my stompin' grounds. The south end of Dilley is the La Salle (for you furner's that's pronounced "La Saul")/ Frio county line. It's about the 85 mile marker of IH-35.I haven't decided yet how to handle this, but if it helps, I'll be near Dilley. Firstfreedom, I like the map, but I have no idea what county Dilley is in on that map, but it looks green as grass. Thanks for all the feedback.
