Re: Hi there adder lovers!

It is a downbeat note but make sure that someone knows where you are and wether or not the nearest hospital carries anti-venom, I ended up with a 30 mile ride
All the other advice start early before they warm up,tread carefully (there may be one you do not see) snakes sense vibration through their bodies and detect movement by eye, the tongue samples your smell so no strong aftershaves or scented soap(you can buy special soap for stalking) watch your shadow does not fall on it.A recon.to watch where the sun and shadows fall will give a better idea for on the day
good shooting
