When u find a good brand let me know. Ahh, nevermind, I need the thicker Lacrosse Outriggers to at least stop shorter fangs.
Killed 2 cottonmouths about an hour ago while inspecting a potential beaver job. The biggest one .....48" er and big as my forearm...was almost stepped on...pulled back and opened that mouth on me. I beat him down after I levitated for a couple seconds.
Took 3 more steps and there was another....30" er and big as 2 fingers....he died too.

We’ve talked about it before…… It’s nice living and warm weather beaver trapping in cottonmouth free country lol. I saw at least 6 big ole northern water snakes on a couple beaver jobs today. I thought about you lol. Today was 1st day that Ive even considered a beaver job since March. Didnt take but a short walk thru a jungle-like bottom to get on those 2 pretty quick. Here's one of those 2... Had Lacrosse snake proof knee boots on today....lol

Dans hip boots with Muck boot lowers are the most comfortable, durable ones out there. I wear them in the sweltering heat and sometimes forget that I have them on. They area also available with lacrosse lowers. I never tried those. They may seem to be on the pricey side, but you will wear the soles off of them before you ever ruin the uppers. I trap year round and have gotten 3 or more years out them. I have been using them for over 15 years and have only bought three pair in that time. The denier fabric uppers are very likely snake proof, They are certainly greenbrier-proof.

I use and abuse they are good.
