I know exactly what your sayin. I used to work for this guy(construction) who was in veitnam with 50 some confirmed kills and also an undercover cop who rode with the hells angels in the 80's. Anyways you couldnt get him in the woods or near a stream/pond during the spring/summer. scared him to death just thinking about snakes, but during the fall he was in the woods all the time hunting lol acting like a tough guy.
