Just a reminder guys. Keep an eye out for snakes while dove hunting. My pup ran across this dude and pulled a 180. I shot it immediately and was only 3 feet from it myself.

Yea after that little scare I'm gonna get rowdy the vaccine and take him to be de-snaked. I'm not really sure about the vaccine but it can't hurt - we have a few timber rattlers around.

Had mine snake trained a few years ago. He was scared of garden hoses for a long time.

Still knows there is a snake close. Had to learn when he is on heal and changes sides all of a sudden that he just put me between him and the snake.

Where did you get your pup snake trained? How exactly do they do it? I need to get it done but will probably wait until the offseason now.

I didn't even know you could get a vaccine like that. Good to know.

Got snake trained outside Houston. Used to have a goose lease south of Houston with my Katrina displaced New Orleans buddy. We did some dove and quail hunts there otherwise I would not have done the snake training.

They take a rattle snake, pull the fangs and tape up the rattle. They put it under a pile of grass in the middle of a golf course close mowwed field. You cut your dog loose and, of course, he heads right to that pile of grass. When he gets a nose full of snake he gets burned hard until he gets away from the snake. Then the trainer puts a check cord on him and drags him at the snake again, burned again. They remove the tape on the rattle at some point. They also uncover the snake.

Not fun to watch, didn't want to do it, but I was hunting texas farmland. They tell me you are supposed to give them a refresher every year, but I don't hunt those areas anymore.

For a few weeks he would not go near a garden hose. Can't say that I blame him.
