BOOM!!! first turkey of the yr down!!!! (pics to follow) Should I enter it in the contest? I can enter another after it right?

didnt hear a peep all morn.... killed a jake tho...

Sorry bud if you get bit and dont get help quick ur in trouble... the reason there not usualy fatal is cause of it being treated not cause it dont affect ppl... (unless im not understanding you) from wiki: Effect of bites on humansWhen a bite occurs the amount of venom injected is under voluntary control by the snake. The amount released depends on a variety of factors including the condition of the snake (e.g. having long, healthy fangs and a full venom sack) and its temperament (an angry, hungry snake that has just been stepped on vs. a satiated snake that was merely surprised by walking near it).[69] Approximately 20% of bites result in no envenomation at all. A lack of burning pain and edema 3⁄8 in (1 cm) away from the fang marks after 1 hour suggests that either no or minimal envenomation occurred. A lack of edema or erythema in the area of the bite after 8 hours indicates a lack of envenomation for most rattlesnake bites.[70]Rattlesnake bites are rarely fatal to humans if treated promptly.[30] An estimated 7,000 to 8,000 people are bitten by venomous snakes in the United States each year with approximately five deaths.[67] The most important factor in survival following a severe envenomation is the amount of time elapsed between the bite and treatment. Most deaths occur between 6 and 48 hours after the bite. If antivenom treatment is given within 2 hours of the bite, however, the probability of recovery is greater than 99%.[68] Common symptoms include swelling, severe pain, tingling, weakness, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, hemorrhaging, perspiration, and eventually heart failure.[69][71] Local pain following envenomation is often intense, increasing with the ensuing edema.[69] Children generally experience more severe symptoms because they receive a larger amount of venom per unit of body mass.[70]
