    Man, being in the woods and hearing those rattles and not being able to see the snake or tell where the rattling is coming from is probably the scariest experience I've ever had in the woods. Sometimes in thick brush they rattle so loud you think you're surrounded.

    • @wizardofahhhs759
      @wizardofahhhs759 5 років тому +7

      @Koletti Pireaus That's my point., you can't move away from it if you can't tell where it's coming from. You just have to stand still until the snake decides to move on. I've had this happen on more than a few occasions and it's scary as hell. Anyone who has experienced it will know exactly what I'm talking about. Me and a friend of mine were walking through some thick brush once and had one go off and neither of us could tell where the rattling was coming from because it was so loud it sounded like we were surrounded.

      If he got bitten. there would likely not be a video, but I would like to think if he was bitten he'd be prepared for the emergency, but people like him tend to get overconfident(Steve Irwin for example). I wouldn't be surprised if he's been bitten before. If heard many snake authorities say an untreated rattlesnake bite is usually not fatal to an adult, especially a male, but can cause serious damage, like loss of fingers, limbs etc, depending on where bite occurred. Personally, I'd never get close to one if those things if I can help it.

    I had two brother-laws, one who had grown up in town, and the other had grown up on the St. Francois River in South Missouri. The one from town was scared of snakes. He went fishing one night in a boat with the one who had grown up on the river. Later he told us " I looked behind us and here was 50 snakes staring at me!" " I told Larry we needed to get out of there and all he did was say " If you'd quit shining that light around you would not even know they were there."
    I don't think they caught any fish that night. Too much noise was being made. The snakes always seemed to avoid my BIL striking at them with an oar. BIL#2 kept telling him to ignore them but he would not listen.

    For any future trappers out there. Once I started my little trapping business, I went to the paint store and bought a few empty five gallon paint buckets, and drilled them full of holes. Place a few inches of sand or stones in the bottom for ballast, and no helper needed. The lids stay solidly in place as well for transporting. 🤩

    I really appreciate what this man does and the calm patient way he goes about this dangerous business. But I really hope he has some anti venom close . Not sure If I’ve ever , ever known a snake handler - even the very best- that didn’t get hit a few times at least . Those daimond backs have a very deadly bite. I knew of a drunk fellow in town that tried to pick one up and it nailed him several times. He was in ICU for like two weeks in a coma, the nurse told me he came a gnats toe nail of dying and they had to import anti venom from neighboring states. My understanding is a daimond backs bite is much more deadly than a copper head or a cottonmouth. Didn’t know that for years,

    Absolutely fascinating! I had a rattlesnake in my backyard the other day (I live in Arizona). I was using the Weed Whacker and I guess I woke him up. He took off in the other direction, then curled up under a nearby tree. When I checked later, he was gone, and I figure that since I've already knocked out most of the weeds, he's probably visiting my neighbor.

    I just seen one just the other day on my way home from a day out of the water. My brother wanted me to run it over, but I stuck to my guns and said no to him. I got out of my truck and gently clapped my hand and it slowly moved of the dirt road and back into the weeds. Note it wasn't as big as this one like it just 3 to 4 small rattles.

    Great video. Rattlers aren't really aggressive if a person doesn't mess with them. I've always heard you could walk within 5 feet of a record size, and never know it because it wont make itself known if it doesn't feel threatened (old wives tale?). If you're out in nature you don't need to kill them, but they taste great if you do. I've not checked into it, but I heard pygmies are protected in many states. Timber rattlers are protected everywhere. Great chaps. In a pinch, you can use several layers of denim. I knew a guy that used old stove pipe for chaps - lol. Just respect the snake, even if it's dinner. You'll be less likely to get bit.
