Let's hear some fun stories on Dry bites..I know Dean has some!!
Here's one....Bubba, my big Tx Male...Last year was giving him Baytril injections for ocular infection..NEVER been bitten by any DRY, including those I've caught in the wild..Anyway, I'm holding him about 6" behind the head, my wife is giving him the injection(she's a nurse) As soon as the needle goes in, he turns around on my thumb, not a strike, just opens and CLAMPS, felt like friggin' PLIERS!! Does not let go until the needle is removed..Almost bit thru my fingernail..Carried marks for a month! Powerful as we think, maybe more...Smart, too...
Let's hear from some other guys..Fred?? DT? Dwight??
