It was a warm day and I figured I would go down to the river and go fishing.
Turned out a lot of other people planned the same thing and a lot of the fishing spots were taken.
I figured I would walk along the bank up a mile or two and get away from all of them.
While walking along the rocky bank, I started to slip and loose my foothold a few times.
(In some places a long the bank its like a cliff face and water)
As I grabbed a tree root for stability I noticed a bright copper colored snake come out from under a large rack crevice and splash into the water.
Keep in mind I really had no place else to go, so splosh Im in waist deep water with a god damn venomous pit viper three feet in front of me.
I was OCing my Sig 229 on my hip, and I swiftly drawed from under the water and slowly lifted my pistol out of the water muzzle down while holding my fishing rod in front of me.
Thankfully he just stuck his tongue out at my (sniffing me) and swam away and onto the other side of the river.
I have to tell you by the time I got to the other side of the rock face, and flopped down I was about to pass out from the pure adrenaline rush.
I re holstered my Sig and was about to smoke a cigarette, then realizing they were soaked along with my cell phone and wallet.
I realize shooting a snake in water is probably extremely difficult, but hell thats all I could think of and to be honest it just seemed like it was an automatic reaction to unholoster my weapon in that circumstance.
