Thanks for making this video! I love snakes and I think this video will help save a few snakes live in the future because of your teaching! I always hate when people kill them for no reason whatsoever. They do more good than harm --that's for sure! And as you show in the video, they would rather get (run) away from you than turn & bite you. I live in the 'Burgh burbs and it always surprises me each time I see the size of the rattlesnakes just up the road aways in the "mountains"

I am facinated by your snake hint videos, I am personally not a fan of snakes, that is, I prefer them not be near me as they prefer I not be near them. I've had a couple butt puckering encounters with snakes I could only hear, not see. We don't have the big 50 inch timber rattlers out here in Oregon, but even a 15 or 20 inch rattler that's sounding off is enough to make me stop dead in my tracks. You guys walking calmly through tall grass, thick brush, and walking right up to groups of basking snakes is not something I think I'd ever do, but damned if I can't stop watching you and your friends doing it. You do a great job of showing a multitude of sporting traditions, certainly glad I found your channel recently.

They are really beautiful and much respect for being good hunters and treating these beautiful animals with the respect they deserve. That area of Pa. looks really beautiful, my kind of place. You guys are brave as I am little afraid of snakes and you all handled them well. Take care and happy hunting.

Our rattlesnakes in the Panhandle of Texas have stopped rattling. People say that it is in response to the wild hogs we have. It is a scary situation because they are so very well camouflaged you can almost step on them. Usually the dogs point them out before I see them.

Mary Frederickson That's Fucked-Up as Hell!! Sorry for foul language on tender ears but them damn hogs should've been GONE! I know it's big business for some, good eatin, all that stuff or whatever... My Goodness, if y'all wanted them gone bad enough they'd be scarce as hen's teeth already! They're not native an they're Very destructive to fragile thing's yet discovered or Not discovered by the Right People yet. It may be TOO LATE when it's found out. Do y'all have gensing, bloodroot, orchid's of rare finding's... It WILL Be gone before you know it, If Not Already. Im not talking crap or tryin to be a dick (prob sounds like), just super concerned about fragile Native species. We've got'em coming in from the East, outa a county called Caswell Co. NC. Most Big Buck hunters have hunted or heard of Caswell an it's hunting. Whatever you Hunt really Caswell has it, as far as quail,dove,turkey,bear,deer. They've gamelands only certain time's hunting is allowed, its HUGE woodlands too probably quessing 15by15 mile's in diameters wide, I've seen from above in a plane, beaver dam's going for hundreds of yards wide. It's almost breathe taking to think about it.. Ivr seen it, Ran deer dog's all over it in the mid 80's ,scariest thing ever to happen to me while on a hunt 30 miles from my house now, Not in Saskatchewan, Right next door really, anyway My Best Friend from Middle School they call it Now but we where ,by all intense and purpose already grown men, Drove big rigs to haul tobacco to the action houses, Drove Bull Dozzer's on the farm, tri-axle dump trucks. We where 13 an 14 year's Old... Anyway, craziest thing ever happen on a hunt was. We'd been training 3 Redtick hounds ad we called it "to run Bucks Only" an we had been pretty lucky gambling with the Older Guy's at the Hunting Club so far. Wr took the pup's an by pup's I mean 1 or 1an a half year old dog's, they're strong but still stupid. We went about a mile down a Creek called Hogan's Creek Very Big Woods, Very Big Creek, anyway I took the dog's around behind what we expected to be bedding for deer, turned loose an hauled ass back around to my Bud Chris Scott, born an breed in these woods an in Caswell Co. NC. Wr heard the jump! Something didnt sound right to me, but I'm a 14 Year old Kid an Green as they come... I jumped down off pick up truck, clicked safety off my Rimington 1100, coming an coming Fast.. Suddenly I Heard strange sound coming from Chris, My partner, My Besty, My Homey, My Bro frm anthr Ma. He was jumping in the truck, cranking the truck laughing so hard I thought he'd started drinking early without me... I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO THINK?? Then I Heard that different sound coming from them pup's AGAIN.. ..Really close this time, I was thinking Chris is going around in Case they turn an come thru the pines instead of the hardwoods where I'm standing with a shotgun loaded with slug,buckshot,slug,buckshot,slug no plug in because it's legal... Suddenly I HEARD THEM BASTARD'S COMING,I could smell'em before I saw them. I had the cognitive ability to think in a milli-second, I've got a 12guage shotgun 2 pockets full of shell's... Am I scared or can I be a badass an kill'em all. I'd never even seen wild hogs in my life, an only heard story's That I didn't necessarily believe in the 1st place... I was starting to look around for the truck an Chris was Blue an Red LAUGHING SO HARD, pulling away from me an pointing up into the tree's... I turned around about Time a hog, Black an Red lookin snarling an foaming at the mouth, Busted through That brush.. Probably 40yards away or so. Looked like 5 yards to Me...?! BIG as he was! 2nd thoughts thru my mind, Bust his ass,No closed season, No bag limit! I swear, that's what I thought about 2nd. . After my second or Third shot... And I could see fur flyin in every Direction behind him.. I had, No doubts about my aim, until I started reloading another shell into my shotgun, for it was empty already and My Little spot in the Woods was getting full of hogs an squelling Little pig's an stinking bloody hounds.... I wanted to be in a deer stand or in a truck, More an More! Mili-second by Mili-second I was wondering How Chris knew So Soon after the Jump.... an then amble over to the truck and pull away from me... HAHA, SO FUNNY! if I live Boy I'ma bust Your ass with 1 or 2 these useless shot shell's.... They sure don't work on hogs anyway! I'd killed 3 an didn't know it, took awhile for'em to die .I didn't know that either.y First encounter with a herd of pig's being chased by hounds. I'll Not Ever Forget It! It's better to be OFF the Ground! .

Tradition? Not so much, out of the hundreds of deer hunters I know in PA, I’d say less than 10% have ever set out to go rattlesnake hunting. And food? Depends on who you ask. The rattles and skin of these snakes are what most hunters are after. Tanning the skin and using it for leather work is especially popular. Their population in PA has been healthy for centuries, although most don’t understand this as the snakes rarely venture beyond their dens.

Enjoyed the video! Now for my rattler story. After I bought some property in Middle Tennessee i went out on an early warm spring day to clear some fallen trees off an old logging road. After hitting some unseen barbwire with my chainsaw causing the chain to come off; I rested it on the tree I was cutting to reattach the chain when I heard slight rustling in the dry leaves. Looking down between my boots I saw the biggest rattlesnake I had ever seen crawling slowly to the rear of me! He still had a ways to go before his rattles got past my heels. Only then did I move and turn to watch him crawl inside the hollow base of a red oak tree. He curled up inside with his head facing the opening in a defensive position. Growing up in the country I was taught to kill any snake I saw. However, i figured the snake had every opportunity to bite me as I was straddling him, but chose not to. So I owed him one, and left him alone. That experience left me with a new respect and appreciation for snakes.

TheBanjoFlyBoy Good for you. Rattlesnakes aren't aggressive like people will try to lead you to believe. They just want to be left alone and only when someone steps on one or tries to handle or kill it do they get bit.

I couldn't disagree more. They may be educated in finding snakes but from a conservation point of view this is a very uneducated and unethical thing to do. The big guy was even saying he wanted one to mount. Trophy hunting for what was very recently a candidate species for listing as threatened or endangered is not what I would call a smart thing to do. The science used to remove from the candidate list was weak at best.

When in high school we had to do a theses It could be on any subject . The subject I picked was the three venomous snakes found in Pennsylvania. One interesting fact that stood out. The highest concentration of venomous snakes in the world is certain areas of PA . Some mountainous areas can have as much as 12 snakes an acre. Great video

"* It is unlawful to hunt, take, catch, or kill Timber Rattlesnakes west of Route 15 and south of Interstate 81 to the Maryland line where there is no open season." It excludes hunting in the triangle formed by Hagerstown,MD, Gettysburg, and Harrisburg, PA due to a unique type of timber rattlesnake found near South Mountain.

I live in the suburbs of " Da Burgh" in an old steel town, Vandergrift. I fish plenty, spend lots of time walking/ hiking in the woods. But, have never seen a rattler in the wild. Not like I persue them, but it would still be really cool to do so. Tionesta, is where I frequently call home away from home. One of my absolute favorite places in this whole world. So quiet & peaceful, also full of nature and the wildlife

I live in Clearfield county Pa. and the snakes are here too. I dont go looking for them, but have seen them crossing gravel roads in Rockton and Curwensville areas while driving. Im always watchful while trout fishing! A copperhead caught me by surprise along Anderson Creek once back in the 90's - it struck my boot,but no harm done.
