I really need to know the location of this place... so I'll NEVER come within 100 miles of it .thanks in advance

Y’all be safe out there! Looks like you’re having a great time! Nothing better than spending time with friends and enjoying something you enjoy doing.

I look forward to this video every year. It was a great video as always!

It's funny, I'm thinking, that snake is huge, only to hear you say, "that's a little one." Lol Good videos, guys. Be careful out there.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

The camera quality and clarity of the vid is phenomenal! Best I've seen on the tube!

The world would be a better place if people spent less time on electronics and more time enjoying the outdoors with friends and family and what God n Jesus blessed us with.

I grew up in north central Pennsylvania and was taught how to catch rattlesnakes and copperheads. I used to catch them too. I miss that kind of excitement. 😊

awesome Guys!

Very cool man. I learned more about snakes from your video than I ever knew. Especially the Copperhead info. I live in CT and we have the same terrain as where you shot this video but I've never even seen one rattler in my life.

You guys have a great Pennsylvania outdoors channel here

Love these videos

"I'm not going to pick him up and measure him." Neither would I!

Sweet vid

Another outstanding video John, I found one beautiful yellow phaze one so far

I really enjoyed this video...thank you

Awesome video!

Yankees un cowboy hats! What quality programming!

I love these videos.

Great video. Man where I hunt I would be covered up with ticks and chiggers if I went through the woods this time of year.

Great video

Wow! Can't believe you saw so many!

I never go out here in southern WV without snake boots. All the way into late October and early November at times I watch my step while hunting.

My parents live up in Henry's Bend (not too far from Tionesta). We've only ever seen one copperhead and it was near the Allegheny River. I knew it was a copperhead immediately because of its eyes. Pretty cool looking snakes. Also, it was very nice to meet you at Dominos! Lol. Hope to see you around more!

I live in southern Kentucky and we got are share of rattlesnakes and copperheads I'm not scared of snakes but I'm not going to lie when y'all was walking up on that bait ball aof snakes it raised the hair on the back of my neck lol

Enjoyed watching very interesting

Thanks for sharing your video. It sure looks like a great time. I never saw anyone ever hunt for them. I heard of it though. The only Timber Rattler I ever saw was touring Pennsylvania spring turkey season in Centre County. I was at my buddy's cabin, and in our out house there was one curled up. Thank God for the Rival I would have never saw it. I would have been in for a big surprise if it would have been dark, it was easy 45 inch and fat 3 1/2 to 4 inch girth. I did get a picture of it because the guys would have thought I was bullshiting them. Although we did find their sheds b4 under the cabin and in the shed behind a shithouse. I never saw a copperhead before until watching this video. They ain't no joke either. Thanks for sharing I think next year I will try and look for one.

Glad to see you guys wearing snake boots. Way too many people go out hunting poisonous snakes wearing sneakers and no protection. Also glad to see you use common sense about them and mentioning about being careful @5:45, shows you know they can be dangerous and it's better to be smart than ignorant. So many other people really don't understand the real danger and act like there's nothing to fear. But in most cases, it's really not fear of the snake, it's respect, mostly for yourself and your own life.

Nice action. Just got back from the mountains of Wv fishing. Thankfully no snakes..

Snakes you have them!

boy y,all make some great vids i,m a logger and see the occationaly , beautiful crreatures !

Terrified of snakes, don't mind watching videos of them.. looks like you guys enjoy doing what you do.

I like the way you guys do things. Very educational and humane.

Enjoyed..hoping the rain holds off for summer in Pocanos

Good job buddy , u tagged out Nice video thank u so much sir I got t get proper gear f me to try it but when I get it done right I like t meet u and teach me the ropes

Phenomenal camera work. Well done guys!

Canebreaks/timber rattlers are my favorite snake to collect! Prettiest rattler in north America in my opinion

As a conservationist and snake lover. I can say I really appreciate the respect you give the snakes. From what I understand you guys doing this actually helps the population of these guys. Correct me if I’m wrong. But be safe and good job educating the public

I have hunted the high country of Pennsylvania since I was 4 with my grandfather. As I grew my brother joined us. I know by first hand how dense the forest are in that state.

Very cool dont see a lot of ratlers here but we get some coppers

Dam good eye to spot that far away!!

You guys are brave. I live in Brevard County Florida near the Upper St. Johns River Marsh. You'd love the place! It's full of moccasins and pygmy rattlesnakes. Nice video.

Andy and buzzlightyear😊

i like how you point out that the snakes are not chasing you. some people think these are aggressive, and they are actually shy

Extremely interesting stone work! That looks like Amorites have been at work there!

All those beautiful flag stones, what a house you could build

now that’s what you call cowboy right there.

Man there some nice snake can't wait for both season bow hunting deer season and October 5th opening day PA

I live in southern illinois. And we have copperheads and rattlesnakes all in my area

I think snake hunting is cool. Keep bringing the videos.

Great video, thanks?

Great channel just subscribed! Will tell my hunting buddies to tune in. We come to Pennsylvania every year for rifle. Brother the logger has farm in summerville pa

I need the camera you’re recording with..crystal clear even when u zoom in..Awesome

I had no idea we had Copperheads in PA. I looked it up and none in my county (nor rattlers). I'm surprised you can keep them, seeing as how they are venomous. Seems like there'd be a market for them to create anti-venom and you'd have to sell any you kept. Cool video.

Speaking from experience, when you go out to pick blackberries in Clearfield County and you step on a rattlesnake, well, you have a great chance to set the world high-jump record.

Man. Those are some Big snakes.

This location looks alot like cooks forest in pa

Happy 4th guys

I had no idea they even existed up north in the colder climates

I need to show this video to people that are scared of snakes cause this just shows they’re a hell of lot more scared of us then they are of them

My Dad grew up in Delaware Water Gap area before the war. He told me that on the PA side of the river, it's all copperheads, on the NJ side it's all timber rattlers. If you want to find the motherload of copperheads, go to the PA side of the river at the point of the gap, locate the cold air cave pull off just a short way from the parking lot towards Portland, and climb the boulder field above the cold air cave. I got caught up there on a cold morning in May filming peregrins, and when I climbed over the boulders to go down after it warmed up, there was a huge copperhead under every second boulder coming out to sun itself. They were everywhere. Scared the shit out of me, don't know how I found a snake free path out of there. Never going back.

Great 🎥! I dont Like 🐍 s but I have respect for them and admire their way of catching prey.Just like cats they strike fast they move fast.

Cool

First time watching channel. Intensely watching with great anticipation. Sees shadow moving across shirt from hand out of corner of eye. JUMPS BACK OUT OF CHAIR 10 FEET!!! Finds something else to watch.

Ringing Rocks state park is loaded with them too. Lots of snakes there.

To be honest I am not a fan of snake hunting in Pennsylvania, but I must say that while watching your videos I really appreciate the respect you have for the snakes. I think it is really good that you guys are also including educational material about the snakes and addressing some of the fear people have for them. The one recommendation I would have is to sterilize your handing equipment between snakes or at least between the different sites that you visit to prevent the spread of snake fungal disease. You can do this by bringing along Clorox wipes or some other form of disinfectant. If you notice blemishes and sores on the faces of some rattlesnakes, it is likely snake fungal disease.

I love your videos man. I’m from Pennsylvania as well. Which area in PA do you go snake hunting? I enjoy it as well.

That's an awesome herping spot! Keep the location quiet, it keeps people from going just to kill them.

I’m was born and raised in southwest PA. We have seen rattlers up my camp in the Allegheny National Forest and I’ve always wanted to come out to central PA and hunt for some. Just never knew where to start. After watching your video I think I’m going to finally do it this year. I’m 32, not getting any younger. Better do it before I’m too old to climb those mountains haha

especially the copperhead they are getting quite rare

I know where this is. Uncle Ronny used to squirrel hunt in these woods.

The video is deceiving, those rattlers look HUGE!!!!

Boom Boom

I’ve lived in Pennsylvania my whole life and only saw a snake one time and it was when I was hiking. It was in the middle of the trail and t was super small . We just let it go across the trail back into the trees. On the other hand I’ve lived in North Carolina for 4.5 months and have already found a snake in my pool filter. It was a gartner snake but still... I haven’t lived her for long at all lol

You mentioned keeping them , what do you do with them. Id love to catch a couple..i get excited catching garder snakes..great video.. All your videos are amazing huge fan here !

I know I'm off subject BUT(yes big but) .. anyway I just watched the crunch time last day or Second Saturday hunt with you guiding or assisting with the two guys that seemed to be choking or just holding back for a Sure ethical shot. I've been on and seen guided trips of many sorts but your as cool as a cucumber and show extreme patience and Talk to them with enthusiasm just enough to keep their inner Hunter in the Game as much as their outter Man in the Game . Exstreme Professionalism on your part and My Hats Off! I'm certainly NOT judging there ability at marksmanship (lesson learned long ago) My ROTC Rifle team in Highsbhool,! I shot a 196 out of a possible 200 perfect score, The Sargent announced it never being done in the State at my level E1 13yr old 7thgrader 14pound, .22short Cal. rifle, shooting all 3 positions knelling,prone, standing the last being only 4, shots in 9 ring outside the 🎯 bullseye. Anyway my training partner an best friend at the time. Stepped up and shot a 197, only time he'd ever shot close to my scores, But moral of this Long (True) story . It was only time that Counted that John Cristian Scott or anyone shooting near or better than my consistantly simalar high scores took the glory away and I was still as happy as if I topped the Whole State history in Competion Shooting! I think Our names are still on record books and I know they're still hanging on the wall in the local school.. With all the ignorance of the Times and No rifles allowed in the ROTC building, (only weak BB or those plastic balls crappers) if anything now,IDK!. We will Never learn of Natural Exspert Sharpshooters . Some none hunters used to Tell me I was a liar, or crazy when I'd speak of knocking Turkeys or Ducks down in flight with my single shot hog rifle when I was 12 or 13. Our Local Gamewarden put thar to bed when Papaw called him to come get My Hawk I'd wing shot jus to get a better look at Him.LoL! Back then Grown folk all taught kids right from wrong. That big Man picked me up by my overall straps and Told me if I hurt or otherwise harmed another protected specie just for kicks he'd break my rifle around a tree trunk and tan my hide so hard I'd stand in Sunday school for a month of Sundays.. I didn't know exactly what he meant but I knew It was a Real Long Time, for a sore ass .. Hawks where rarer by far back then due to pesticides and ignorance .. Sorry so long , just brings back lots memoirs of my childhood watching hunts an catching snakes . A Dr. used to pay folks a long time ago for Cottonmouths,Copperheads, Rattler's too, I don't remember why. ?? Late 60's an early 70's.?? Did they do anti-venom stuff that far back? I know an old man down from us growing up , saw his 8yr old gson get tagged on his lmiddle finger, walked over to kindling chopping block an chopped that babies finger clean off without batting a eye an some young people where saying he was mean or crazy, but old men and woman praised him up for saving the childs life and whole arm too. Weird shit happened/happens in the backwoods I reckon

Bruh they say it small but I think that’s the biggest rattlesnake I ever saw 😂

if ya notice seth has his ear circles in and this important when catchin snakes.next episode me and seth will be posting our latest call of duty video game footage. stay tuned.

Some gorgeous snakes you guys caught there, I'd love to hunt some copperheads sometime! What do you guys use em for?

Great video, we’re polluted with rattlesnakes in my little corner of Montana. I only kill the ones near my house and if they try to bite me. I didn’t know there were copperheads in Pennsylvania. I thought they only lived down south. Well I learned something new.

Did you guys ever try hunting snakes in Somerset county game lands 111 off of Conn rd I have a camp right next to that area and there some nice Rattlers in that area

I was no joke 2 feet away from a adult male copperhead cuz were in a indian reenactment hut in the middle of natural bride forest and i sat on a log inside the hut when i turn around and see this like 5 foot copperhead. I didnt move cuz he wasnt threatened by me but everybody was like omg move your gonna get bit and die😂 the teacher said turn around and pay attention to the show and from past snake encounters... You never turn your back on any snake 😂 they took it to the natural preserve were they can roam without putting others in danger so yeah 😂

Wow reading these comments made my IQ drop 100 points.

Great video. Just curious what do you do with the 1 that you can keep? Pet? Eat it? Anti venom?

You have snake hunting season? Here it’s open season year round

The one in shed looked big

Man, for a non-sunny day, that was some nice finds. Q? What does it mean to "tag out"?

I personally have a slight phobia of snakes but even then I would not kill one or want to harm one but rather watch from afar they are pretty cool creatures

❤

I'm a snake man. I've handled and been bitten by many non venomous snakes. On purpose of course. But I would like to go do what you guys do sometime. I'm from NC. We got some Rattlers but you rarely ever happen upon one.

Copper penny eyes have to remember that

Crazy AF and to top it off yall do it in shorts like just give the snakes a target

Those snakes had a perfect spot beautiful view I bet... the rattlesnakes here in West Texas most of them don't even rattle anymore. I seen someone take the head off with a shovel. the snake did not rattle once. Most of the time we just pick them up and leave them on the outskirts of town and they never rattle I wonder what's up with that a lot of people say it's because of the Hogs

Another awesome video! Do you guys take people from out of state on snake hunts?

I suspect theses comments are how should I say, cultivated.

I also live in PA. To hunt Rattlers and Copper Heads do you have to buy an add on to your license like getting a bear tag? Also Is there a tag for them. Or is it a completely different license? Thanks so much. Great video.

Thought that tube was a bong

My self I prefer to use a Bond Snake Slayer on any snake

Hi mates,writting from Uruguay. In my country we have an only one Crotalus species,the Durissus in the northeast rocky hillsand densest forests. It's very cool tobe in touch,go onand succed in lads.

what part of PA are you guys searching in? i am from bucks county Pa. south east PA right outside philly
