You find interesting NON-gun items at gunshows, too!!

Jim,

I believe you are thinking of saw palmetto.

That's the stuff alright. Home for rattlesnakes. Thanks for the mental joust.

When I was stationed at England AFB we were cautioned about rattle snakes sunning themselves in the top branches of the saw palmetto. If they got you, it would be in the upper leg or groin!

Even as a medic, the thought of that still hurts!
