Sorry for your loss

We had a catahoula when I was growing up, think he hunted copperheads. Face was swole several times each summer

Prayers up

Sorry for the loss. I have a female pit bull that is also a snake killing machine. She has been bitten twice by copperheads. She has learned to circle them and grab them in middle and shake them so quickly and violently that they usually fly apart. She used to meet them head on, that's how she got bit. She hasn't met up with a rattler yet. I wish she could read, I'd show her this thread so she'd be careful..

[Big pig]

Really sad.
Sorry about your loss
I have owned land 33 years in Leon co and no rattlers yet.

More copperheads this year than ever before.

That's tough. Sorry for your loss

[airehead]

Sorry that this happened!

[Fmjag64]

That sucks, sorry to hear. I overheard someone a while back talking about a shot you can give your dogs beforehand that makes them immune to the venom in case they get bit. They were saying their hunting dogs had it so should be good just in case. Is this a thing?

Sorry to hear that. Sorry for your loss

I knew they were in the area. I hunt near Lake Limestone, close to Jewett, and have been wondering if I would ever run into one. They sure would be camo'd in the woods I hunt.

Sorry for your loss.

I hunt the river bottom below Lake Limestone around Marquez and have a place on the Jewett side of the lake. We have seen 2 Timbers on the river bottom but none around the lake. We have seen a few copper heads around the lake.

Sorry for your loss.
