A dude in south Georgia(where I hear copperheads are rare) just got bite while he was hunting. Medical bills are over 200k.

I almost stepped on one this weekend. I always walk with a walking stick and wave it in front of me, especially if its an area with high grass. When I waved it to my right side, something moved very fast by my right foot. I recognized the pattern right away. Freaked me out for sure because I was going to step on it. That was too close for my comfort. I decided to take another route (the grass was very tall in that part of the woods).

It took me few days to circle back to this as we were running our TYHP youth hunt this past weekend, man was the weather nice. I agree on the elevate, I have been wanting to build a bow box blind at this one spot because the only way to hunt it is from the south and being inside helps control the stink. I thing short term I am going to try piling dirt around the edges as Jen-Man and Huntindad said.
Those that elevate your pop ups are you doing it with a wooden platform, how are you securing it?

Most pop ups have a flap at the bottom around the edges. If I'm putting a pop up out for a season long placement, I take a shovel and be sure those flaps are facing to the outside of the blind and I cover them completely with dirt. It keeps the snakes and bugs out pretty good. I check it good every time I hunt the blind for the season...

I quit hunting pop ups on the ground when I found 2 Cottonmouths in my pop up. I did not see them until it got light enough to see I ended up cutting a new door out the front. that was a couple of years ago I don't believe deer come back to that location on my place as much of a commotion as I made.
