    It’s nice to see these beautiful rattlers in our great state of Pa.
    I personally have never killed any snakes.
    Have always enjoyed them in the wild.
    Thanks for taking us along.

    Back in the 70’s, in PA, I used to skin snakes that I found dead on the road or what people killed. I got to go to a snake roundup I think at a place called Cherry Creek. I was fascinated! Prolly helped me become a biologist, growing up along Pine Creek and going to that snake event.

    I lived in PA for a long time and didn't see many snakes (but I suppose I wasn't looking). Now I live out west and see them almost daily (but I am looking 😂). Wish I had looked more when I lived over there.

    I’ve had over 20-30 snakes off n on since I was 9 years old. I’m 33 now and currently raising a 2 year old Retic. I would love to find some Timbers but don’t know the trails in Pa

    I hope to go find these in PA sometime . Plus copperheads too. Cool looking snakes and you ever go to Kent CT looking there? Supposed to be good for rattlers but unsure if your allowed to take any.
    I never found or encountered a poisonous snake yet but moved to MAINE 30 yrs ago and MAINE no longer has rattlesnakes or copperheads or any poisonous snakes.Nice video!!

    What a really cool thing never even thought of this. We’re about to start our lobster season on the West Coast the difference between an a black and yellow one you guys eat them or do you guys? What do you do with him if you keep them is like my question. Fascinating.

    • @pawild
      @pawild  10 місяців тому +1

      You can keep 1 male per year if it's over 42 inches. We didn't keep one this year but you can eat them. They taste a lot like lobster 😂

    Hello, I,m not an anti anything hunting, shooting or trapping, but I,m in the woods year around and I don,t believe the rattlesnake population is worthy of killing too many. I know of established den,s and my eyes tell me this, it takes a female up to 7 yrs. to produce a good offspring batch.
