Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to make it for us to watch. Seems like a lot of fun out there finding the rattlers. Many good hunts ahead to you sir.

That looks like a lot of fun. Great video work. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

As an American Hunter/Fisherman, I really enjoy these videos! I had no idea that Rattlers got that big outside of the state of Texas! ;) Its easy to see why Settlers cleared them out whenever they came across them! We have rattle snakes where I live, mostly in the sage brush and scab rock country although, I have come across timber rattlers up north in mountainous areas that are much larger. We have "Bull Snakes" here that are similar to the rattler in pattern, but different enough that its easy to tell them apart. A few years ago, I caught one that I came across while out scouting some country, a huge 7 to 8 foot long Bull Snake! My Uncle would tell stories of those large bull snakes when I was a kid, but I remained skeptical all through my life until I actually got to see this big one that I mention. I let it go back to what it was doing after I examined it for a while. I was surprised at how docile a snake that size is, because the smaller bull snakes can be quite lively to handle!

Very nice video. Good day snake hunting with friends, spending time in the Great Outdoors. Good find with the shed antler . Keep on keeping on and Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.

NEVER KNEW PA HAS A RATTLESNAKE SEASON..AND I LIVE IN PA!!! AWESOME VIDEO GUYS...THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS KILLER!! GREAT WORK FELLOWS!!

Very few people actually spend time in the mts year round, if they do its usually on a trail or near, a camp, park ect.. But if you actually hike in and spend time in the mts, then you will soon learn about the animals, and birds and reptiles that live there. Rattlesnakes included. Sadly many of our modern hunting pursuits do not include, putting good old fashioned boot leather to the ground and spending time scouting and learning our wild public places. PA has millions of acres of public land. Rattlesnakes are to be respected. Their presence is a part of our PA wilds every bit as much as native brook trout, the whisper of the wind through a white pine, and standing atop a mt at sunrise and gazing across seemingly endless mts, that go on forever. Nice video, good to see others enjoying our PA wilds.

Glad these guys are still out there. One of the good things about the last two generations living indoors playing video games is that the wild life gets a break from fools

You dudes Rock! or Rattle.... love the video and care you give when capturing those beasts! Love It!

new sub here. love the videos beautiful scenery. could listen to this voice all day long very calming

Great video! There were some beautiful snakes

If you’re ever in Texas go to Sweetwater in the spring during their rattlesnake roundup. Holy crap!

Awesome video guys!

I love the snake hunting videos

You guys always make the best videos, I personally would shit myself repeatedly if I ever saw a rattle snake much less handle one. Keep up the great work stay safe

I now know to never walk power lines in PA. I don't really understand the purpose of the hunt. What happens to the snakes that you bag & tag?

Had no idea PA was that scenic. The country side is beautiful. This looks like it could be a hell of an experience.

Great video, we have a cabin up in Lycoming!

Omg what alot of snakes in one area!!!! I will be there in 19 so can I go to spectate?

i always love watching these videos! looks like fun. its always been something id like to try, and i always tell people about these videos and explain it. some a lot of people where im from aint never heard of this.

Have enjoyed watching these videos the past few years. I hunt these here in Western NC. 54” yellow phase timber is the largest I’ve caught yet.

Awesome footage, especially the woods and stream in the beginning. I live just north of PA near Binghamton, NY. Didnt realize rattle snakes were that common in PA, hopefully you guys dont have the tick problem down there like we have here, cant even go in the woods without being covered with them anymore.

Its amazing how non aggressive they are. I didn't see one that even tried to strike. All they did was try to get away. Great video.

Gotta give you guys credit for your bravery. I'm not generally afraid of snakes, but there's no way that I would be walking around in an area infested with venomous snakes!

I used to bow hunt years ago in the Gaines, Galeton area. One of the guys usually saw at least one rattler every year where he hunted. If I had known there were so many of them, I probably wouldn't have hunted there!

All you guys are crazy !!!

Is there any good public land you can go rattlesnake hunting in Pennsylvania

Views are amazing felt like I was Alabama in my grandmas back 40

I don't know why i have to click on this to watch just before bed time......

Learn something everyday. Didn’t know that Pennsylvania had rattlesnake.

Wow wouldn't think pa would have that many rattlesnakes

What is your recommendation on snake tongs?

Good video Johnny!

Where you get you snake grabbers at?

These guys r cool , guy shooting the video is the nicest guy for these snakes. U need ur tv show why not everybody else does it But it's pa u know . But a nice video for sure its not choppy it's gold video even w snakes I video tape but u r near these guys closely but nice video thank u so much sir

I heard a long time ago that bluegrass musicians used to put a rattle inside the mandolin to prevent mice from crawling into the instrument. Is this true?

Hi there all, Awesome footage and a great video, thanks for sharing and best regards from New Zealand hunters.

that terrain is pretty dangerous to walk through without those snake boots . like walkin through a minefield .

Great video. What stream is that? I could stand hiking there and just relaxing.

Any flintlock videos from this winter have missed your videos

finally people that dont kill them! thank u.

How likely is it that a snake fang could penetrate those boots? Your boots seem quite thick but I'm not sure what kind of puncturing power those snakes have.

What happens after you catch a snake? As in how do you bring it home and what do you do with it?

any advice on to where to look to find them I want one but cant find them I live 15 mins from Charleston and I know wv has them so any advice

Another great video! Thanks Leatherwood Outdoors 👍🏻

Are you keeping only one as limited and just catching others for like "research" for the best hunting spots. or keeping all that you see.

Would love to use my #4's.

Would like to possibly join y'all on a hunt next year. Saw one timber rattler here in nj 2 years ago but they are endangered here so we can't hunt them.. any information you can give me on possibly hunting for one next year would be greatly appreciated

So what do You do with a legal tagged one?

How do you get the snakes in the tubes? I've lived in Pa. my entire life. I've spent so much time in the woods of upstate and never have come across a rattlesnake or a copperhead. Never heard a rattle or anything. On our mountain we aren't supposed to have them. The next mountain over they are supposed to be there. I've covered a lot of ground and would really like to see one. I'll keep my distance that's for sure.

Thank you for the video , it gave me a new respect for the snakes . Have you ever hunted them in the Tionesta area ?

Awesome!!! Love love love this! Gotta ask, ever let any old ladies join the hunt? Been hunting snakes all my life and live in Pa too. CATCH AND RELEASE best way to enjoy the beauty of these guys.

Catch n release, nice off season hobby. How have the ticks been for you guys in PA so far? Luckily for us north of you in the Adirondacks they havent been bad at all thankfully by this time last year found 4 on my pup but hes been vaccinated and tested.

I love that part of the country, but man, this many rattlesnakes makes me happy to live in a place with only one poisonous snake, and a rare one at that.

How many are you allowed per season

Beautiful snakes!

I remember as a kid visiting my uncle in Westfield pa. It was a big deal even the younger kids did it...

Great stuff here! What kind of camera are you using in this video?

I know you guys are up around the sinnemahoning area. Been running around up there since i was 12 in 1976 for my first buck season. It doesn't get any more beautiful! Love to know if they really found the dents run gold or not!!!

The size and number of Timbers tells me the environment for them continues to improve. Great news for us Keystoner's.

I honestly dnt know rattlesnake lived in PA thought the winters was to tough...

Good ole wycoff I have a camp near there

Great videos and very impressed. I do have a question? What makes you guys so confident that you won’t be bitten? Snake boots up to the knee and some wearing shorts. Your snake hunting in tall weeds climbing over rocks they can be anywhere. I personally would want protection up to my hip or more. So be it if it’s Hot! How do you feel about this???

Where at in PA?I hunt in Garrett county md never see that many rattlesnake mostly copperheads up here

why did u let them live?

I love "Whacking Day" ... Where's my stick?

Do u guys plan to post archery hunting videos this year

I live in NEPA. Benton (rural) to be exact. I'm NOT going to go rattlesnake hunting but have nothing against what is going on in this video. Is there somewhere where a guy like me could try some of the meat? I'd give it a shot out of curiosity.

I am curious to know if you milk them and sell the venom.

I have seen copperheads and timber rattlesnakes in Sullivan County NY. Unfortunately NY doesn't allow hunting snakes. Most people never knew poisonous snakes are found in New York. My friend lives in Wayne County, he has rattlesnakes come close to his house because of mice. Lots of snakes die from brush hogs and lawnmowers this time of year.

Great video! Looks like a lot of fun. Can you show how you get them in the tube next time? Stay safe brother!

What happens to the one that got bagged?

Cool video!!

I'd love to see a video of dressing out, cooking, and eating rattlesnake. Do you milk them for the venom first? Make belts out of the hides? The only time I've ever heard of anything near this, is the rattlesnake roundup, in San Angelo, TX.

Where are y'all hunting at? I'm from down in lebanon, pa and I would really love to find some rattlesnakes to photograph. And that green snake was really neat. All I find are rat snakes round here.

Some good eating. I used to get them when I spent some time in AZ

Nice footage! Is this the same spot u hunted last opening day?

I've loved in NY my whole life I never over there was rattle snake in PA or Ny

didnt know they could be found that far north

Where in PA are you guys? I'd love to tag along and observe! I'm from somerset county

What elevation are you hunting at?

Trout, trout pretty little trout, jump right in and splash about!

So they release them? What is the point of the "hunt"? Just for info purpose? Great video, cant believe how many there are! I will stay out of PA

What region/area of Pennsylvania are you hunting these in?

There are rattle snakes that far north ?

Catch and release a rattler... My ole Georgia mind just can't seem to wrap around it..

What kind of boots are those?

seemed like most of them were getting ready to shed.

Fellow Pennsylvanian here. Where is that stream? Absolutely beautiful.

Wait a minute. This isn't natural is it? Tell me these snakes were stocked here lol? That's like twenty rattlers in less than a half mile it seemed I may never leave my house again

I'm going to the Sinnemahoning hunt and the Cross Forks Hunt this year - first time. I never even saw a rattlesnake in the woods all my life. I got Irish Setter snake boots, Cabela's snakes chaps, and 2 pairs of snakes tongs, 52" and 60" long, Got burlap sacks and found an old snake bite kit in an abandoned camp. Where do you get those tubes at ? Can somebody help me with that ?

How far are you from Williamsport??

How many snakes is each person allowed to take per season

Was it a cooler they seem kinda lethargic

come to warren and mckean counties we got lost of them

Didn't realize Penn has so many rattlesnakes.Is the climate really that favorable for them here?

I hate snakes but watch these vids every year.... I don't know why lol

if you want to see rattlesnakes you should come to oklahoma...we have as many as you want.....

Just nuts!

Rattlesnake sausage is sounding good right now.

By God is that beautiful country or what? What county were the first shots taken in? That reservoir looked one I remember from Tioga County, but not sure. Love them northern PA mountains!! I wish I were there.
