[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2388010, member: 30902"] About 95% of human/rattlesnake injuries are caused by people hurting themselves trying to avoid them. Even when I was guiding quail hunts in serious rattlesnake country four months straight after a couple of months in N. and S.D, Montana, Idaho, and Eastern Washington the only times I was hit was when doing snake breaking clinics under controlled circumstances. There are some light snake gaiters available but they are totally unbreathable and unbearable in warm temps if you're walking very long. Seriously, we've become a seriously overly risk averse society and rattle snake bites in the field are extremely uncommon. Weigh the risks and make your own decision but if I couldn't just wear my snake boots I wouldn't bother with it at all and I live in very serious rattlesnake country. [/QUOTE]
