Agreed on the snakes smelling like cucumbers, 1st heard it from my grandfather years ago, he spent a lifetime hunting/fishing/working in the woods. Of course at the time I just though it was "old timer" BS, but after encountering the smell and the snakes in the woods, I decided the old gentleman knew what he was talking about, and later came to realize that was true on several subjects. I now wish I had paid more attention..
