Had a friend tell me that he got bit a few years back by a cottonmouth. He stepped on it's tail and it bit him on the calf. He had snake boots on but he said it felt like a fastball hit him in the back of the leg. It left a bad bruise on his leg.
Another friend in the same conversation told us that his father had been hunting a while back. He was wearing snake boots as well when he got bit by a big rattlesnake. This guy is a big man, something like 230 pounds, 6 feet 3 inches and he said that snake almost knocked him off his feet. Again, left a bad bruise on his calf.
So, my question...do snakes really hit you that hard when they bite?
