Spring has sprung, and across many parts of the country, temps are climbing steadily upward. That means a lot of things, of course, not the least of which is that more and more folks will be getting out into the outdoors. Whether turkey hunting, hiking, fishing, or just stepping out to do some yardwork, people everywhere are shaking off the winter doldrums and getting active.
Just keep in mind that we’re not the only ones getting back outside in the warm temps. As my fellow Skinny-Moose blogger, The Desert Rat reminds us, warmer weather also means time to start watching for venomous critters… most notably, snakes. While his blog post is primarily focused on AZ, the safety tips he includes are valuable pretty much anywhere.
Watch your step, pay attention in the thick stuff, and if you see a snake or other poisonous critter, give them their space.
