I would rather pay for the shots then pay 1500 a bag for the anti venom. I know the closest place to get the anti venom is in Bend Or and that is about 60 miles from the cabin. It takes 2 hrs to get there so I need the extra time. I have snake trained the dogs and they seem to understand to stay away. They are loose most of the time. I do keep a heavy mesh wire on the sides of the kennels.
