Yes, a big no-no. I am told if one is to be tramping in the woods doing
things like that, best to carry a walking stick to sorta pound around on
things to at least give the snake a bit of warning and time to move or
something, so you don't startle them to bite. Snake boots help too.
Best not to step over the log (or go poking in the wood pile too).
A little kid last year got hit by a big rattler 3 or 4 times when he
stepped over a log in the woods in a park around here, I think he was in
the hospital for like 3 months, was touch and go for quite some time but
he finally made it though has some system degradation.

I take it, then, that one is supposed to walk around the end of logs to
be able to see where one will be stepping.
