They were out shredding the trails today. Good news for those that use them to get to the stand!

Anybody else still waiting on approval? I sent my coordinates in on Tuesday and haven't heard back?

[Blacktail1]

I never got a response back, but it doesn't look lke anyone is close

I had to email him twice before I got a response. I emailed him on the 22nd and got a response on the 25th. He said he was out of the office. My first coordinates i sent were no good. So I moved and I got the ok. Good luck.

I put my coordinates in on the 24th and got my ok on the 27th.

This is why I wear snake boots at Georgetown. Stepped about 3 feet from this guy the other morning. Good thing it was still early and he was warming up!

Are we able to "take care of" these guys when we encounter the or is there restrictions on killing snakes?

I think PETR is against it.

How do you dispatch them anyway? Use a hiking stick?
-- just curious, I'd personally not mess with them.

I've been out there a dozen times so far, have yet to see one, i wear guards tho regardless.

[Meat821]

I'm sorry. Who is PETR?

[YLEKeyeOT]

I never said anything about "dispatching" ...I just left him there...simply observed that he wasn't moving anymore.

Now in other parts where I know it is ok to dispatch with hazardous snakes, I might be inclined to take a stick and hold the head down then use a knife to cut it off.

failed joke for specialized department of PETA.

I am unsure if it is OK or not, best to ask Ranger.
I'd just avoid them, because I have no skill at killing snakes, and I know that's how most people get bite...messing with them.

I know you had to explain yourself, but I knew what you were saying
