Any hound owners near Orange County?

A great opportunity to get your dog(s) done or refreshed by Robert Kettle, one of the best, without having to drive two hours. Lots of snattlerakes out now. Takes about 15 minutes. More details at QU Orange County Chapter

Cost of clinic: $50. Cost to treat a single snakebite is about $1,000 (regardless of whether the dog recovers). If it does, your dog will still be out of commission for 1-2 months. That's a hunting season. You do the math.

A good idea for pets as well.
