Jimmy: I remember when I used to go fishing with the Arizona Flycasters Club on outings. we were all deathly afraid of getting bit by rattlesankes so we made a gallon of "Anti-snake Bite Juice" A fifth of Southern Comfort, a fifth of Vodka, a fifth of rye whiskey and if anyone brought scotch it would go in also.
Must have worked just fine cause no one ever got bit by a rattler.....LOL ---- "Jimmy D.
