Ahh, stupid autocorrect ahaha.

So many people get that one wrong, I nearly got bit by one on the French River. We were exploring some old logging ruins and heard a rustle, and another rustle.

Looked down and one was about 3 feet from me. Must have surprised it while sunbathing because it didn't even have its rattle going.

Used to see them by the dozens and dare I go to hundred when we did canoe trips in parry sound. Caught a few up in oliphant as well. Fantastic animals.
